Hi all

I received the following e-mail from CPC-Ottawa

****************************************************************************************************************************

This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents:


· Medical examination for yourself and your spouse.

(Medical Instructions will be sent separately via email within the next 48 hours)


· Payment of Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) for yourself and your spouse. You must pay this fee before a permanent resident visa can be issued. The RPRF will be refunded if the application is refused, if you withdraw your application or if you choose not to use your visa. Please follow these steps:

1. Go to the website: .....................................

All requested documents/information must be accompanied by the outgoing correspondence we have sent to you (i.e. this e-mail or a printed copy of this letter).

****************************************************************************************************************************

What is confusing me in this e-mail is that i don't know if they need "RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check" + "Police Certificate" from back home or do they need just the "RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check". Keep in mind that i have already sent "Police Certificate" from my home country with the original application which was delivered on 15-Aug-2014. Notice how the required documents are mentioned as bullets whereas when talking about "police certificate", they mention it in a separate paragraph.

Thank you in advance

Congrats and +1. When did you apply? and when did you receive your PER?

 

[Viva2014]

Hi guys,

Just got MR and RPRF! I'm a September 18 applicant and I had received PER on January 6th!

Good luck everyone who is waiting for MR!

Congrats and +1 to you. I believe they jumped over my application

 

[Diplomatru]

starting with RK

It's not a VO. RK is a secretary

 

[AmrAdel]

Congrats and +1. When did you apply? and when did you receive your PER?

I applied in 15-August-2014 and received PER on 22-Dec-2014
DO you have any idea about the requirements in this email ? i.e. do they need "RCMP criminal record check" + "police cert" from back home or they need "RCMP criminal record check" only ?

They don't need RCMP certificate at all.

 

[AmrAdel]

They don't need RCMP certificate at all.

Thank you for your response but it's still not clear to me
It is obvious from the email that they need "RCMP criminal record check"
My question was if they need a "police certificate" as well ?
I am mentioning this because after the "RCMP criminal record check" bullet, you'll find the email talking about "police certificate" and if if you clicked the link after that paragraph it will be showing you how to get a "police cert"
Thank you

According to IMM7000 they don't require PCC from Canada at all unless they specifically request it. Criminal check record is a PCC.

Thank you so much for taking time to answer me
But if you check the e-mail that i have posted you will find the last bullet asking explicitly for an "RCMP criminal record check"
My question was if they need a police certificate from back home as well or not.
Thank you

 

[cantaloupe]

they only want the RCMP record. they have accepted your police certificate from your country of citizenship if you have already submitted one. The other user has not read your post carefully and therefore is giving misleading information.
good luck

Dear AmrAdel,

Many congratulations on receiving such email from CPC CTD Ottawa. Let me help you on this.

You DO have to provide CPC Ottawa with an RCMP record check. Please note that CPC Ottawa asks nationals of specific countries for RCMP checks and also foreign nationals who have been living in Canada for a long time under a temporary resident permit (study or work permit)

I am quoting below the information contained in CIC website, for more info please visit this link and click on if you live in Canada
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/canada.asp

The Canadian visa office will tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed. If the visa office asks you to complete a criminal record check, visit the RCMP website for instructions. You must bring:

A full electronic set of fingerprints on form C-216C taken by one of these accredited companies or police services
A complete application form (available on the RCMP website)
Reason for your request (eg. For immigration)
Your full name
Date of birth
Sex
Mailing address
Phone number (and/or fax number and/or e-mail address)
Applicable fees

Hi guys,

Another quick question about RCMP criminal check. Should send the sealed envelop directed to CIC, or open the envelop and send the inside paper to CIC?

Thanks.

VIva2014,

No worries my friend, yours will come shortly. When the files arrive at CPC Ottawa, they are not organized by received date. I was in your shoes friend. I remember our friend darkknight1 who applied 2 weeks after me and got RPRF, medicals and PPR before me, LOL. So no worries, you should be in the queue for RPRF and MR and you will receive them shortly, I am sure of this.

Answering your question about updating spouse work experience, please don't do that. They will only consider all work experience before your application submission date.

Congrats and +1 to you. I believe they jumped over my application

 

[pepe84]

46 calendar days is the current processing time my friend. Looking forward to receiving mine, LOL and I am very desperate to book a trip to another country for vacation. Without PR card I can't do it.

Does anyone know how long the PR card will arrive after the landing?
