Hello all,
I recently submitted my CEC (inland) application and was surprised that the checklist does not include a police certificate of Hong Kong, where I used to live for six years. I haven't stayed there for more than a week since I moved to Canada. The checklist does include a police certificate of China, my country of origin.
Questions:
1) Is there any mistake in my checklist?
2) Will I be asked for a police certificate for my stay in Canada? How long will that take? Can I get a Canadian police certificate upfront?
Background info: The Government of Hong Kong will not issue a police certificate without an introductory letter from an institution such as IRCC - that means, without a request for police certificate letter from IRCC, I would not be able to obtain a police certificate of Hong Kong myself. I would not be able to see the letter myself either - it was directly mailed to IRCC when I applied for a work permit two years ago.
