As far as I know, CIC needs you to submit the PCC (Police clearance Certificate) from all countries where you (your parents) lived more than six months.

I did for my mother from Canada as well as from country or Origin (India) , but she was in Canada at that time.

I went to this site and just walked in

I think the Key is they need finger prints.

Hope this helps

Quick question friends,
I am sending my mom's passport to Ottawa as she is staying in Canada now.
They ask in the form, country of residence, as she is currently staying in Canada, should the country be Canada?
Or should I put, El Salvador, my sister says that they are asking country of residence, not country of residency...

 

[DeHdez15]

mmm , that sound weird. Can you please point to a link from CIC , that is explaining all this?

Thanks

Family size applies for all the years, even when the family got bigger only until the last year...

Friends,
Don't overkill yourself. We don't need a PCC for parents for their stay in Canada. This was confirmed by the CIC agent on phone. The rep was kind enough to send me an email confirmation in this regard.

I believe one fellow member requested me to share the content of this Request For Information.
Here is the full email from the CIC representative (see point number 3 under POLICE CERTIFICATES):


"Good day,

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. As discussed, you will find below complementary information to our conversation:

Processing times - Parents and grandparents

We know how important this process is to you and are hoping to finish processing your application as soon as we can.

We would like to give you an overview of the process so you can fully understand the different steps of the application.

Once you send an application to sponsor your parents or grandparents, the process is done in two steps. There are different processing times for each step.

• Step 1: Sponsor eligibility

After we receive the application, we will send an acknowledgement letter. At the Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Mississauga, Ontario, an officer will verify if the sponsor is eligible.

If the sponsor resides in Quebec, they will receive a letter indicating to fill out some forms and to send them to the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion (MIDI).

• Step 2: Final decision

The CPC in Mississauga will send the file to the responsible office. At the office, an officer will verify if the sponsored persons meet all the requirements to become permanent residents of Canada. The processing time for this step varies depending on the case.








Police certificates

In general, if you and your family members want to immigrate to Canada, a police certificate is an essential part of your application.

Some countries may ask you to provide fingerprints, photos or a letter from Canadian immigration authorities explaining why you need a police certificate.

For more information on police certificates*:

• Verify the sections Police certificates of the Instruction guide and the Document checklist of your application kit,
• Police certificates are generally valid for one year from the date they are issued,
• You do not need to provide a police certificate for your time in Canada, and
• Please visit our website for more details.

*If you cannot get a police certificate, we invite you to include a written explanation with your application and an original letter from the police authorities confirming that they will not issue a certificate.

We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.

Hello

Can someone shed some light on this please.
Currently I have a family size of 5. I am having a baby this month. So My family size will be 6.
1. Does the lico needs to be recalculated for 2015 2016 and 2017 ?
2. Should it match per family size on individual year as mine was 4 in 2015 and 2016 , 5 in 2017 and 6 in 2018 ?
OR
it should match for family size of 6 for all the previous year
