Hello Experts! I hope you can help me...
My husband applied to PR as PNP (Ontario) in Aug/19. We passed medical exams. Now IRCC is processing background check and requesting Police Certificate from China. We were not expecting this, since he spent only 8 days over there on a turist visa. He has the stamps on the passport confirming the lenght of stay, the air ticket receipt confirming the dates of entry/exit of the country. We even tried to verify how to get the document, only to learn that Police Bureau in China won´t process this request for visitor visa. Even the US Department of State - Bureau of Consular Affairs website says China won´t issue Police Certificate for L type visa.
My husband contacted IRCC via phone and the agent recommended him to gather all this information and send a web form, which we did along with a letter of explanation. Two weeks ago, we received an e-mail saying: "We have forwarded the information you provided to the responsible office for their consideration."
We are very hopeful that the Police Certificate request is a misunderstanding on their part. Have you seen anything like this request before? And most importantly, how long does it take for them to review this webform?
We haven´t heard anything back so far and we don´t know if the documents got to a real person to be reviewed. This process is so nerve wrecking...thanks in advance for those who can help me with this.
