Hi all,

Is there a possibility that the PA will be asked for police checks from any other countries once the background check starts?

The PCC that was uploaded with schedule A was only for the country of residence which was the only one that was requested and no others had been asked for at that time. Could they ask for another country's check later on?

Just trying to prepare for what could be next and order now to avoid delays if possible.

Thanks
 
They could if they resided in a country for 6 months or more

Yes, they can.

PCC of all countries where you stayed more than 6 months in a row are submitted at APR.

But if you stayed in a country for 5 months and 29 days (so you do not need PCC since you did not stay 6 months in a row), IRCC might get suspicious and could ask for PCC or why it is not required.
