This does not seem to be a mistake. We provided only a police certificate from the Netherlands, where we lived, when we applied. They came back and requested a Police Certificate from Finland (which we should have anticipated really as this would have fit pour 2 you pointed out) and Australia, where my partner had lived for about 7 years. So, I think this is normal.
They won’t send you physical mail so it doesn’t seem you don’t need to inform them.
About 2 months or so until end of July where we'll be flying to Canada because my contract is being moved to the Canadian entity of my company. A bit longer than 2 weeks and different country so...maybe ?
I think it doesn’t matter to your app...maybe. Because your app is Outland.
In your case, it won't hurt and might help a bit (as you are Canadian applying from abroad). You can add a short note that you've given up your flat etc in Netherlands and (I presume) vacationing - anyway you get the idea, supports that you are moving out of current while preparing for move.
Thank you ! I guess it does put in context the whole move and intent to return.
Yes, one of the things they ask for (as I recall) is evidence you are leaving place you've been residing. Can't hurt anyway.
Yeah they replied and clarified it to us, thanks. I just wish we knew earlier and we could've started the process to obtain it earlier.. now we only have a month to submit it but most likely will take longer to obtain it. Sigh.
Yeah, Australia was a pain for us to get, but they gave us 90 days so worked out. Australia had paper based so they were mailing the PCC from Australia, which was really inconvenient. We ended up calling them and asking really nicely if they could email us the PDF since that was really what we needed. If you're lucky, you'll be able to make the request online and receive it ASAP online, but otherwise, maybe try to find a phone number and do a bit like what we did.
Thanks for sharing this! Our application is also in New York. We're Aug 19 2020 so maybe not too long and ours will come through!
I would give them a call. Set yourself up with a Canadian number via the TextNow app and use that to call the IRCC hotline. They'll be able to let you know if they've received your app, and can give you a temporary file number.
