Hi everyone!
I've applied for PR through CEC Express Entry. I received my AOR on August 4th. Today, I received message on my IRCC profile that my application is incomplete and that application is cancelled. The reason from IRCC states:
The Police certificate from Austria was issued prior to your last residence in that country. The Police certificate was issued on 2020/01/15. Your last residence in this country was 2020/03/12.
The details provided in my application regarding residence were as follows:
From 1993 - 2018: Residence in Austria
From 2018 - 11/2019: Residence in England
From 11/2019 - 03/2020: Residence in Austria
From 03/2020 - current: Residence in Canada
On IRCC website states the following regarding police certificates for Express Entry applicants:
Police certificates for a country you do not live in:
the police certificate must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row.
Some countries put expiry dates on their police certificates. If you have a police certificate that expired, include it. We’ll accept it if:
From what I can understand is that I wouldn't even have to provide a police certificate after my last residence but after the last time I had residence for 6 months or more in a row if I understand correctly. Also why wouldn't IRCC just ask for an updated police certiciate?!
Does anyone have any advise on what I can do other than resubmitting my profile to the pool?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you and good luck everyone!
