Spouse Police Certificate - Urgent

[Raffowl92]

Hello all,

I just noticed that there has been a change in the wording of the PCC request. It now says that a police certificate must be provided for all countries where the applicant has spent more than 6 months.

However just a few months ago when we applied, it said all countries other than Canada.

So must we now include an RCMP check as well with an inland application?

'All countries over six months' is the normal wording.

How to get a police certificate - Canada

Do I need to provide a Police Certificate with my Application for Permanent Residence? No

The Canadian visa office will tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed. If the visa office asks you to complete a criminal record check, visit the RCMP website for instructions.

I called CIC and they reported that they do NOT want an RCMP/Canadian criminal record check done. They intend "All counties over six months" to mean all foreign countries. If an RCMP/Canadian check must be done they will specifically ask for it.
