Police clearance

[determinator]

Hi
How are you all.
We submitted police clearance at the time of immigration for all addresses since we were 18.......i read in the form of citizenship that if you submitted already at immigration you did not require it again....is that correct....

The form contains the actual requirement. If it's there, it's obviously correct.

Have you been in Canada since you're 18? If not, you'll need to get Police clearances from all countries that you spent a long time in (I think 6 months or longer). If you're just referring to Canada, then yes, if they need to clearance again, they will ask for fingerprinting.

Hello,
I stayed in US for 5 years and moved from US into Canada as a PR in April 2016 and will be completing the eligibility for citizenship requirements by June 2019. Do I need to obtain police certificate /FBI report from US for submitting my citizenship application? I submitted a FBI report as part of the PR processing. It's a little confusing. Can someone please clarify?

Yes, you will need an FBI clearance. I was in the same situation like you and I applied back in oct 2017 and during my eligibility period I was in the US waiting for the Canadian PR approval. I did not submit FBI pcc initially but was asked to submitt later in the process.

Good thing nowadays it takes around 1 week to get the clearance letter back then it took me 4 months to get it

Good luck !!!

yes, before april 2016 you stay in the US more than 183 days , which is included in your 4-year eligibility period.
