is there a deadline to decline invitation? I'm waiting for non-criminal history proof for multiple countries and afraid it might not arrive within 60 days. Would I still be able to decline invitation when the days left to submit is 10?
PS: My CRS is 458
If you cannot get a police certificate in time
If you’re invited to apply, you have
60 days to submit your application for permanent residence. If you do not have all your police certificates by the 60-day deadline, you have 2 options:
Option 1: Decline your invitation to apply
Your profile will go back in the pool. Depending on your score, you may be invited to apply again.
Option 2: Prove you applied for the police certificate
In
very rare cases, we may accept both a letter of explanation and proof that shows you made your best effort to get a police certificate on time.
You can upload this in the country-specific police certificate field of your document checklist. Examples of proof:
- a confirmation receipt
- a payment receipt
- a delivery notice
- a tracking number
An officer will review your application. If they’re not satisfied that you made your best effort, your application may be rejected for being incomplete.

Option 2 is risky (you can upload PCC via Webform but still it’s a risk with sleepless nights.)
