Hi Please help me understand this.
I have applied for Express Entry (CEC) my spouse is in canada for more that 6 months but I have not included him in the application as it lowers my CRS score.
I submitted my file on Feb 7.
on Feb 1 9, I got 3 messages in my account
1. my medical has passed(normal)
2. I am required to do biometrics (normal)
3. They need Certified criminal record check RCMP..fingerprint based one for my husband.
Can you please explain the need for Number 3?
Is this normal for CIC to ask for RCMP certified criminal record check?
Why do they need it?
Why you haven't included your husband in the application? How will he get PR?
Is your husband in Canada on study visa or work permit?
If the person has stayed for more than 6 months in Canada, IRCC usually asks for RCMP clearance check.
I am not sure even though you have excluded him from the application, why IRCC is asking for RCMP clearance check. Maybe it's a requirement regardless of the spouse is included in the application or not.
