Alternatively you can attach proof of applying for Police certificate, while sending the application. Getting the police certificates may take months if you have stayed many countries for more than 6 months.

Thanks for your reply,

I will try getting the police certificates. However, as I know that to get the police certificates, you will need to prove that you are applying the police certificates for some designated purposes, Eg immigration. Since I dont see there is any letter from the PNP packing requesting for a police certificates, can I still get the police certificates without the proven letter from CIC? How am I supposed to get the police certificates? or should I wait until I can get the file number?

This question might be stupid...but thanks so much for your answer!!

Maybe it depends on country, but in my case a police certificate will be sent to the immigration authority only, to the address that I specify in the police form.

As far as I know you don't need to "prove" that the PCC is for a particular purpose. You only need to state in the application that its for immigration purposes. I guess it varies from country to country. You don't need a file number to apply for PCC.

My country does require a letter of request and it can be downloaded.

It is recommended that you submit your police certificate along with your PR application to avoid any delays.

I did my finger prints/criminal check in Canada, all I had to do was to tell the chick that I hadn't submit my application yet(no FN), therefore, the results will be sent to my home address instead of the visa office. However, if you are outside of Canada, then you will have to go to your local police department.

Hi I just received my letter of acceptance from pnp, and now is about to apply for PR.

Not sure how to obtain a police certificate.

I am a Hong Kong residence. In order to obtain a police certificate, I will need to have a letter from CIC in order to request for a police certificate. After I receive the letter from CIC, then I will apply for the police certificate. After that, the police certificate will be released directly to CIC by Hong Kong Government. Those are what I have researched online.

When I submit my PR, should attach a paper and write down my request for the letter from CIC in order for me to obtain the police certificate. Or if CIC will actually send me a request for the police certificate if they find out the police certificate is missing?
