Canadian Criminal Record Check for PNC Federal

[TrSally]

Hi everyone,

Had a quick question. I'm applying for PR using my Provincial Nomination.

I obtained a Police Clearance Certificate from my country of origin (the only country I have lived in besides my current residence Canada).

Do I also need to get a Criminal Record Check from Canada for my application?

This link seems to say that I don't need a Criminal Record Check from Canada for a PR application: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/ca

Any help or insight would be super appreciated! Thank you!

Yes you need a check for Canada too if you have stayed in Canada for at least 6 months you have to get criminal record check.
