Hello everyone! I have two questions:
1) How long does the AOR usually takes?
2) When they request the police certificate, is the one from Canada or from my Country?
It says "When we ask you for police certificates at this stage, you’ll have to submit them for:
  • the country where you currently live, if you have lived there for six months or more; and
  • the country where you have spent most of your adult life since the age of 18."

In my case I have lived in canada for over 3 years, since I was 20 (I guess most of my adult life), that means I only submit the Canada police certificate? Or the Canada and my country?

1) about 2-4 weeks
2) only a report from countries OUTSIDE of canada are required. you do not need to submit a clearance for canada unless it is specifically requested. if you dig a bit further on the website, and use their online tool about "how to get a police clearance", you'll see this is noted about canadian clearances.

"The Canadian visa office will tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed."

ONE FOR EVERY Country you have lived in.. is what I was told.. Canada will do the RCMP one,, If yiu lived in any other country YOU have to get that one, and youll need a Fingerprint card for your country to send with your request Most of the time.. If it America,, Last I looked the wait time is 15 weeks grrrrrrrrrrrr
