That's what you should do. Get the letter from CIC and then use it to request the good conduct certificate.

Hi AshyS, have you already submitted your PR application?

Here is what the official msg from the IRCC is wrt to Bahraini PCC...

Do I need to provide a Police Certificate with my Application for Permanent Residence? No.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada will send you a letter requesting a police certificate after you send your Application for Permanent Residence. You must bring that letter when you apply for a Police Certificate.

Procedure for the Bahraini PCC: https://www.mofa.gov.bh/Default.aspx?tabid=149&language=en-US

I needed a PCC from the Netherlands, and had to follow the same procedure. However, I ended up not using it, as I managed to get my Dutch PCC without any request letter somehow.

This is what I was provided by them. It is a completely useless letter, and simply refers back to the page that tells you to get a request letter. Therefore, I would recommend just taking a screenshot of the Canada.ca website, and use that as your request letter to get a PCC, instead of waiting for them to send this.

Thanks for your reply.

i am a bit confused here. After ITA, I completed the additional questions in my profile and continued. I reachd a page where i need to upload all documents like police certificate, medical proof etc. Is this the stage cic is referring to above about receiving the request letter?

Thanks for your reply. It is very useful info.
Just to clarify, what is the document you uploaded under Police slot in your application? Only police clearance certificate or this request letter also?

Are you a Bahraini national or expat ?

Ok, so you may have to include the Indian PCC and perhaps (just my honest opinion) include a letter of explanation that since you are residing in Bahrain you need the letter from IRCC to get and submit the Bahraini PCC later on.

Just the Police Certificate. The request letter is what you would send to the police authorities in Bahrain.

Do I need to provide a Police Certificate with my Application for Permanent Residence? No.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada will send you a letter requesting a police certificate after you send your Application for Permanent Residence. You must bring that letter when you apply for a Police Certificate.

If you live outside of Bahrain: (but have lived in Bahrain for more than 6 months)
You can:

  1. Return to Bahrain and apply in person OR ask a representative (a friend, relative or colleague) in Bahrain, with a power of attorney, to apply on your behalf at the Criminal Investigation Directorate (CID) and follow the instructions above.
  2. Visit your nearest Embassy of Bahrain and bring:
    • A copy of the passport that you used in Bahrain
    • A copy of your old or expired resident visa for Bahrain
    • A copy of your current passport
    • A copy of your current valid residence permit
    • 3 photographs (4x5 cm) with white background
    • Applicable fees
Note: You will be given a form to take to the police department for fingerprints.
