Hi!
I am a Turkish citizen applying for PR (my partner is sponsoring me). My application was returned due to incomplete police certificate. I have lived in Canada since I was 18, I have only been in Turkey for maximum three months in a row, and have not been in any country other than Canada for longer than six months. I submitted a request for police certificates, the only line I left incomplete on the form is 'name in original script'. I did this because my name is written in latin alphabet, but I do have umlauts, I just did not think that made a difference (looking back, it probably does). I also uploaded a criminal record check from Canada because I originally thought I needed it and thought it could not hurt (although looking back I see that was a mistake, as the document is useless to IRCC and confusing).
Before I send it back, I'm looking for feedback on the correct course of action, or just understanding why I got my application returned. Do I refill the form with my name with umlauts, remove the criminal records check, and add a letter of explanation that I have not resided in any country other than Canada for longer than 6 months or do I seek a Turkish criminal records check?
I would get a police certificate/record check from turkey just in case but from what I understand I need to travel to the nearest Turkish embassy to get this record and I would like to avoid doing this as I would need to travel from halifax to montreal.
Thanks!
