Just a query. I was an international student in New Zealand where I stayed for more than 6 months. As far as I know and according to the current police clearance certificate requests, I have to provide PCC for current country where I live if I have lived for 6 months or more and country where I have spent most of my life in since 18, both of which for me is my current country of residence (lived in Nz for 2 years- was 18 in 2012) So I did not send a PCC for Nz as both those criteria do not apply. I have already requested for one just incase they ask for it. My main concern is will me having lived in another country add delays to my background check even though I am clear in both the countries (criminality & security wise)? (I am hoping Canada would not find it difficult to obtain data on me by contacting the relevant authorities in Nz since both are in good ties and commonwealth countries).

Yes, the more they have to look into the more you can expect a longer BGC. Doesn't mean it will be significantly longer, but for sure will take more time.

Oh yeah I read this thoroughly long back. Not having Gckey or Ecas to constantly look at brings me to the forum to keep reading all things haha. With regards to my BGC, I have never overstayed nor have I been convicted or gotten into any altercations with the law there so pray and hope bgc doesnt take time.

May I ask why you don't have Gckey or Ecas?
 
We’re probably looking at our AoR’s end of March - First week of April. Looking at previous months threads, I think they are picking up pace and reducing wait time.
 
Hi guys,
I also used old checklist dates june 2018 but my husband paid biometric fees so is there any problem?
