Should I get a Security Clearance/ Police Certificate?

[MMickey]

I am an international student applying for a study permit, but the problem is I just turned 18 during the processing time. (my birthday is Aug 2, I applied on May 20, and it's been over 12 weeks, still no response) Should I get the police certificate now?

I don't want the visa to be delayed even longer for the police certificate, but I'm also scared to be rejected for not having a police certificate. My school will start very soon in late August; I really don't want the study permit to be delayed or rejected.

What should I do? Can anyone please help? Thank you!

btw all of my friends who are going to Canada provided police certificate when applying. Maybe it's just for my case they don't need one.

Your friends, might have applied through some agency. And Indian agencies, you know, have no professional expertise in what we call 'REAL ACADEMIC CONSULTANCY'.

So relax. At most, you might need some kind of Guardian Declaration form, that too when it is asked for.

All the best.
