Hi- my husband lived a year in Spain so needs to submit his police check.

The instructions are here:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/spain.html

It says he needs a legalized copy of his passport. Is this done at the nearest Spanish Consulate (we are applying outland but are both on Vancouver Island now)? He has contacted the consulate but they didn't give us any helpful information, and the phone numbers seem to be not in service.

Does anyone know if the Vancouver consulate will do this? Does he need to make an appointment? Has anyone been through this? Thank you!

Ok so how does it get legalized?

Also I'm laughing because I'm not surprised that it's difficult, everything to do with Spanish consulates is difficult ahahahah

Hello Guys,

I am an Indian living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Having real tough time getting PCC from Spain (lived for 2 years in Spain).

Please correct my understanding on the below steps: (based on my understanding of CIC + Ministry of Justice, Spain)

1. Certified/verified Photo copy of Passport (only) --> this is basically to get the photocopy notarized right? (nothing else)

2. Fill 790 form

3. pay 3.74 euros via Bank Transfer --> collect the paid receipt

4. all the above 3 forms to be sent to Madrid address.

5. After PCC is done and getting the apostille from Ministry of Justice - Spain, we get back PCC hardcopy or via email from them??

6. Can i use this service for translation to English - "https://taontario.ca/translation/8/" of PCC and will i need to translate the apostille too??

Please help me through this process.

Thanks a lot.

Hey,

Did you get your Spanish police certificate? Did you use a third party agent?

Thanks

Can somebody please tell me how you got your police certificate without using a lawyer? I would really appreciate it. Or if you have successfully completed the police certificate on your own please let me know how you did it and the process. It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
