Apostille requirement for PCC (Police Clearance Certificate)

[mambo.jumbo.india]

I lived in various countries such as Austria, Italy, Spain, USA, Singapore etc (resided there for more than 6 months, in each country) and now I am in the process of applying for PCC (Police Clearance Certificates) from all of these countries (for my FSW 2014 application). My question is, do I need to get the PCC apostilled too? I believe Canada is not a signatory of the Hague Apostille Convention, does that means that I need to present all the PCCs without the apostille stamp on them? People who have already gone through the process can please help me...I would be very grateful for your help..Thanks

No, none require Apostille stamp. Just follow the directions here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp
