Hello,
I've received an ITA 2 days ago and I'm asked to upload the police certificate from Colombia because I lived there for 2 years (I'm Honduran). When I investigate the procedure, I've found the following information:
"Do I need to provide a Police Certificate with my Application for Permanent Residence? No. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will send you a file number and a letter requesting a police certificate after you send your Application for Permanent Residence. You will need that letter and file number when you apply for a Police Certificate.
Name of document(s) to get: Background Verification Certificate"
My first question is: First you get the background verification certificate, submit it with the application for PR and afterwards CIC wil give me instructions for the Police certificate, am I correct? I know I have to contact one of two companies (G4S or Omnitempus)
There is a special note on the instruction for the certificates:
"Special notes and considerations:
Do not apply for the Background Verification Certificate until you receive a file number from the Canadian visa office and instructions telling you to apply for the certificate."
On the page were I'm supposed to upload the documents, I'm asked to load the Colombian certificate, but I haven't received the file number from the Canadian Visa Office.
My second question: I'm gonna received a message authorizing me to ask for the background certificate? Remember I only have 60 days to submit the application.
Thanks in advance for your help
