Hello, Thank you all for maintaining this forum. I have a question regarding police certificates.
I am an Indian citizen currently working in the US. After I get ITA, which police certificates do I need to submit. Should the police certificate be from US or from India or from both countries. I did not get a proper answer from CIC website.

Thanks in advance.

You need a PCC for any country for which you've spent more than 6 months in total since the age of 18.

This is clearly stated in the CIC website btw.

it's right there in the link i gave you .

"If you applied for a police certificate, but do not have it by the deadline to submit your online application, write or type your explanation on a blank piece of paper and upload it in the Police Certificate section. You must also upload supporting documents that prove you applied for it, such as a confirmation receipt, payment receipt, delivery notice, tracking number, etc."

Hello,

Do we need a police certificate from a country where one has been for a 1 year exchange/study abroad program ? because I found this on the website and am confused....

As part of a complete application, applicants, their spouse or common-law partner and their dependent children 18 years of age or older (including non-accompanying dependents) must submit a valid police certificate for all countries or territories (except Canada) in which they have spent six months or more in a row within the last 10 years since the age of 18.

Note: This includes the requirement to provide a police certificate for countries in which the individual has traveled for six months or more, whether or not the individual had an established residential address during this time.

Under “Education,” applicants will be advised to enter the country and city in which they were physically present, even in the case of distance learning. This is to avoid unnecessary requests for police certificates.

Thank you ! :)
