Security Clearance

[fenomenalb]

General question:
When I applied for PR, I had to submit a police certificate for a country (Uganda) in which I have volunteered for a year back in 2005. The process was quite tedious and stressful and I wonder if I would need to get another certificate in order to apply for citizenship. Note that I have nevern been back to that country since I left. I look for the answer in other places but couldn't find it. Any two cents would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I haven't seen anything about doing medicals again...is that not part of the citizen application process?

Thanks in advance

When did you become PR? Did you ever live in any country for more than 6 months since you became PR?

No, medicals are not part of the citizenship process.
