We used FedEx (FedEx International Priority) - £53 for 1.4 kg. Posted from Scotland - arrived in Mississauga the next day. (I used Mail Boxes etc, so I didn't have to set up a Fedex account) No problems at all and speedy delivery with accurate real time tracking!

I live in Toronto, so my package only had to go a relatively short distance to the Mississauga CPC. Cost me CAD23 using Purlator.

Hi Everyone,

I tell you a bit background first:

I got an email from them on 15th May asking for the interview to the london office:
I am in Canada on Visit visa
My UK visa has expired

I sent them the email and documentary evidences that i cant come back to UK coz i dont have visa anymore for UK.

So today i got another email from them that in order to further process my case they require the following documents:

1) Up to date Police Certification (Original)
2) Original Passport

Could anyone have any idea or experience that they did not told me that my case is weather approved or not and asked for the Passport? I am very worried for this. I did provide them the Police certificate when we sent case to Canada for the first stage.

Can anyone please tell me how long is police certificate valid as mine old one did not expired and i have original copies already with me.

Plz plz plz reply me as i want some sort of advice or ideas or reasoning. It seems that they have accepted for the waving the interview.....

Do they always ask for the passport like this as i did not got any approval?

I will wait for anyone reply here

I'm not sure Naz. But I wouldnt think that they would ask for your passport unless they were going to issue you with a Visa. My e-mail never actually stated that "I had been approved"

This is what mine said...

Your application has reached the final stage of processing. So that your permanent resident visa(s) can be
issued, you must now submit the documents listed below. (These instructions do not apply to accompanying
family members who are entitled to Canadian citizenship, because they will have to travel on their Canadian
passports.)
1. Your passport and a passport for each accompanying family member. The passports must meet the
Passport Specifications on page 2 of this letter.
2. Two recent photographs of yourself and two recent photographs of each of your accompanying family
members. The photos must meet the Photo Specifications on page 2 of this letter.
etc....

Don't know whether that gives you any more of an idea Naz. I guess all you can really do is send them what they want. Maybe the call centre would be able to tell you?


And as far as im aware police certificates are valid for 6 months from the date of issue?

Hi kelly,

Thanks for your quick reply this is whta my email said exactly:

Dear ....................,

We are writing with regards to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

Please be advised that, in order for us to proceed with your application, we require the following:

- up-to-date, original UK police certificate; please refer to http://www.acpo.police.uk/ for full instructions.

- your original passport.

Please submit the requested items/information to us within 30 days.

Any further suggestions would be really appreciated: I have checked on net and it seems that police certificates are valid for 12 months. Please any update on this will be beneficial, as i am not in UK and i would be very hard to obtain another police certificate.

Naz

OK I just looked into it, and from what I have found on the website..."The certificate must have been issued no more than three months before you submit your application"
