Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[summer salmon]

Hello, I’m just wondering, some people mentioned that they got a Police Certificate from the Canadian RCMP. Is this required for a citizenship application? I don’t see anywhere in the application instructions asking us to provide one. Could anyone clarify? Thank you.

If it doesn't ask for one, you don't need it.

The police certificates for citizenship are from other countries. IRCC can place a request directly to RCMP/others domestically as needed.

I can't speak to what RCMP certificates people are getting - there are other uses of course. Some people waste time and money getting things that aren't asked for, needed, or useful.
