Dear everyone,
Would be grateful if someone could provide advice on the follow matters regarding my ITA granted on 20 Dec 2017:
1) About notarised documents
In the documents checklist, the cic did not ask for any documents to be notarised/certified. Does it mean that it is acceptable to simply upload colored scans of the original copies?
2) About police certificate from Hong Kong
I am aware that for applications from Hong Kong, I can only get a letter from cic requesting for a Police Cert AFTER I have submitted my e-application (as this is indicated clearly on the cic website). But I'm a bit worried about how this procedure fits the 90-day deadline. Does it mean that it is okay for me to submit my e-app even on the 90th day without the Police Cert (and upload a document that states: “I am applying from a country that requires an official request letter from IRCC to get a police certificate”, as stated on the cic website)? And CIC will still give me a letter requesting Police cert after my e-app submission on the 90th day and process my PR? Or do I need to submit my e-app much earlier to make room for CIC's police cert letter and the process of issuing police cert afterwards?
Below is the Policy Cert info from HK for your reference:
Do I need to provide a Police Certificate for Express Entry?
Yes, but only after you submit your application. When you apply for permanent residence, you will be asked to upload a police certificate. Instead, you must upload a document that states: “I am applying from a country that requires an official request letter from IRCC to get a police certificate.”
We will then review your application. If it is otherwise complete, we will send you more information on how to get a police certificate. Please read the instructions above for more information.
We will not accept police certificates sent by mail for Express Entry applications.
MANY MANY THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
