Hello, my husband (PA) and I are near ready to submit our in-land application but I'm getting a bit confused about his Police Certificate requirements.
He is Japanese and when I enter Japan into the government web page for "how to obtain a police certificate" it says the following:
"Do I need to provide a Police Certificate with my Application for Permanent Residence? No. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will send you a letter requesting a police certificate after you send your Application for Permanent Residence. You must bring that letter when you apply for a Police Certificate."
Seems pretty crystal clear.
But now I'm getting paranoid because the guide says that some countries require a consent form from IRCC to issue a police certificate, and that if this is required we should submit the consent form in our application in the place of the police certificate. The links to which countries require this are dead in that part of the guide (at least on my computer) so I'm unsure whether we need to submit the form or not.
Any input is most appreciated!
