express entry - police certificate

[lavazza60]

Hi,

I got invitation from express entry and have 60 days to submit all the documents.
However I've recently realized police certificate of Japan can take more than 2 months.

Can my application be rejected if I'm not able to include the police certificate at the time of submission?

Thanks,

Don't worry...You are fine...You only need to apply for PCC from Japanese website when CIC requests for it.

If you are not a citizen of Japan, and stay outside Japan the below link will help you.

Hope this helps...

Though I concur with CanadaWeCome, there was another thread where members were cribbing about unnecessary delays in getting a Japanese PCC. If possible, apply for the PCC right away without waiting for CIC to send you a request.

All the best!

I was one of them and I went to the Consulate of Japan in Toronto today.


I applied to EE one month ago and they will probably request a PCC from Japan since I lived there for one year.

But instead of waiting and wasting time since it takes 2 month to get a PCC from Japan, i went to the Consulate of Japan to request a PCC.

Knowing that the Consulate would request a letter from CIC I downloaded the form from the internet.
(sorry I am not allowed to post link but it's called Request for Police Certificates/Clearances and Authorization for Release of Information)


They asked me to have my fingerprints taken at a Commissionaire (it cost me $40 + tax).

So, I would recommend that you apply to EE and ask for a PCC from Japan right way and submit it to CIC once they request it.
