New Rules for Study Permit Applicants on or after June 1st

[turquoiseusc]

Okay, I am applying for school in Toronto around June 1st/2nd and I saw tha few new rules that are coming up. They aren't very clear about one:

You must be a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record and not be a risk to the security of Canada. You may have to provide a police certificate.

I'm not a fan of vague sentences or statements, so you can imagine the look on my face when I saw the word "may". What does that even mean? I start classes in September and these things take 16-18 weeks to be completed, does anyone know if this is a definite thing? Do you need it or not?
I'm one of those people where I do believe in having it and not needing it than needing it and not having it. :'(

Hi

Just like Mead says check your local office's requirements for SP. It is entirely possible that even if one is not required, the VO may still ask for one

You may get it anyway. No harm will be done to your application.
