Police Certificate from Mexico? Confusing

[Singularity9]

I am sponsoring my wife's PR and Immigration Canada has asked for her Police certificate from Mexico. She has already provided a certificate from Canada, where she currently lives. The instructions state that she needs to send:

"

• 3 passport-size (4.5 cm × 3.5 cm) photographs of your front profile (no makeup, earrings, glasses, facial hair or sideburns, and ears cannot be covered—no exceptions)
• 3 passport-size (4.5 cm × 3.5 cm) photographs of your right profile (no makeup, earrings, glasses, facial hair or sideburns, and ears cannot be covered—no exceptions)
• 1 clear, legible copy of your passport bio page (with your picture and full name)
• the following information about your file:
  • your file number
  • the name of the visa office, Canadian embassy or consulate or case processing centre where your file is being processed
  • your full name and date of birth

You don’t need to send any other documents or provide any payments.

Please send all 5 items together in one package to

Embassy of Canada, Immigration Section
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 193, Col. Granada
C.P. 11520, Mexico D.F.
MEXICO

If you live outside of Mexico, you won’t receive the original police certificate. It will be uploaded directly to our system.

If you try to submit this police certificate on your own, we won’t accept it."


She currently lives outside of Mexico (she is in Canada). So does she only send the 4 different documents (Front profile photos, side profile photos, passportbui page copy, and file info) to the Canadian consulate in Mexico?

Canada already has my wifes fingerprints from the Canadian police certificate so is that already enough for Canada to request the police certificate on her behalf?

"
Once you submit your application, we’ll tell you when you need a police certificate. We’ll submit a request for a police certificate on your behalf after you give us 2 sets of original fingerprints that include

• rolled and flat impressions of all 10 fingers taken with black ink
• your full name, date of birth and sex or gender
• the name and address of the police agency where the fingerprints were taken
• the signature of the officer taking the fingerprints and your signature

Make sure the name on the fingerprint forms is the same as the one on the passport bio page or photo ID."

Thanks

Yes its clear. You sending these details to the Canadian embassy in Mexico. This process is way better than the previous one, where IRCC in Canada would directly apply to Mexican authorities, which will take for eternity

Ok, so to be 100% clear (haha sorry, I'm so anxious about this). My wife will send in the mail to the Canadian embassy in Mexico the following documents, and this would be sufficient:

"

• 3 passport-size (4.5 cm × 3.5 cm) photographs of your front profile (no makeup, earrings, glasses, facial hair or sideburns, and ears cannot be covered—no exceptions)
• 3 passport-size (4.5 cm × 3.5 cm) photographs of your right profile (no makeup, earrings, glasses, facial hair or sideburns, and ears cannot be covered—no exceptions)
• 1 clear, legible copy of your passport bio page (with your picture and full name)
• the following information about your file:
  • your file number
  • the name of the visa office, Canadian embassy or consulate or case processing centre where your file is being processed
  • your full name and date of birth"
    

Correct?

Yes that is correct. Check the delivery status and call then to ask for updates

I'm going through a similar situation, I sent all the required documents to the Canadian Embassy in Mexico City for the police certificate. Unfortunately, my courier wasn't able to deliver the parcel on the first try, according to them nobody answered the door

I wasn't able to find any working telephone number, I'm hoping they'll get lucky on their second try. Otherwise, I'll be running out of options pretty quickly.

Had a similar issue earlier. The mail was stuck at a post office location in the same street as the Canadian embassy, it was there for 3 months and tracking showed, 'Reached local post office, awaiting delivery'. I finally had a friend's mom in DF visit that location and get it cleared.

Glad that you were able to get it cleared. After you got this sorted out, how long did it take since the Embassy got your documents until they uploaded the police report to the system? Did you get any notification or email?

Hi, I'm in the same situation. After applying for EE, I got the letter from IRCC requesting the police certificate, so I'm sending the photos to the Embassy in Mexico (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 193, Col. Granada ). However, I have a couple questions:

• the following information about your file:
  • your file number
  • the name of the visa office, Canadian embassy or consulate or case processing centre where your file is being processed
  • your full name and date of birth

The letter I got from IRCC has my application number, full name and date of birth, and it also says:
If the issuing authority procedure is to send the police certificate directly to the IRCC office, please refer
them to the following address:

Regular mail: ATTN: EE Registry Case Processing Agent Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada CIO – Correspondence PO BOX 8400 Sydney, NS B1P 0G6 Canada

Courier: ATTN: EE Registry Case Processing Agent Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada CIO-Correspondence 49 Dorchester Street Sydney, NS B1P 5Z2 Canada

Is the above the same as:

• the name of the visa office, Canadian embassy or consulate or case processing centre where your file is being processed?

If so, should I simply send this letter along with my photos?

Also, I understand I have nothing else to do after sending this package. Is this correct?

No notification email, no responses to webforms, IRCC phone support confirmed that they cant see PCCs on file, even if they did they cannot disclose it to me. I was dead in the water, until my application got approved. But that's my experience, may be you can raise a webform and call IRCC periodically to confirm.

I guess there's nothing else to do other than wait. BTW the courier was able to deliver the parcel on its second try, so the ball is now rolling.

As for processing time, how long did it take them to approve your application? Was it for the FSW, CEC or Provincial Nominee program?

Hi @Singularity9,

I'm sponsoring my husband from Mexico. May I know how long did you wait until you got the request for the Police certificate from Mexico?

Thanks.

Hello @yoli85 , I have the same question. My partner and I are nervous that we didn’t include a police certificate from Mexico, but the website said to wait until requested. Were you able to get an answer?

Thank you

Hey, I'm wondering if you could tell me where you got the passport size photograph done? We went to our local pharmacies that offers passport photos but refused to do the right side profile.. thanks

Did anybody ever find an answer recently for this question?

Actually I would like to rephrase this question, how long did it take for the IRCC to acknowledge that they received the envelope with the fingerprints to the Immigration section in Mexico City?
