I think they do that for everyone that applies and only require an RCMP if it's not "clean." However, the reason I was told to provide one is that I lived in Canada for over 6 months, but I have never been there even one day as an adult.Guys, interestingly... I'm the opposite. I studied in Canada a few years back and they haven't asked for my RCMP certificate over 100 days since AOR. I read in my notes that they did a RCMP check on me and found no reportable trace. I wonder if that's already sufficient or they will ask for it in a later stage.
