Joining in! In land common law application. Submitted April 12, Received April 13. Just wondering would they returned the application if we did not submit the Police Certificate from Canada? Because I read on the website that they don't need it at this time. And they will notify us if they need it. But upon reading on this thread that some application was returned due to lack of Police Certificate? That kinda contradict on what's on the website.


Thats what happened to me, i applied jan they returned it in march, i got the police certificate, then applied again in aprik..



Hope it works out this time:(

You don't need it.

I also submitted Canadian police certificate upfront, although the checklist states that IRCC will request later. Just wanted to be on a safer side. If you did not submit only Canadian police certificate, it should be fine. But do check your country specific requirement - whether a police certificate is required from your respective countries.

In my case, PCC was required but I did not submit in the initial application, thinking they will request later. That's how the process used to be few years ago...….. (fyi - submitted in Jan, returned in Mar, resubmitted in Apr). Hope this time it will be approved.

I didn't submit a Canadian police check for the same reason, should I submit one through the web form to avoid returning the application? my country did not have any specific requirements. Now I am worried :(
I am not sure.
We should check with March applicants

Hey guys, I just saw that they updated the form IMM5533 document checklist in April.

Does anybody knows when did that happen?

I sent my application on 17th of April and on that day I think the last version was from March.

I just hope they don't return the application.

Also, after how long can I link my paper application to my online CIC profile?

we sent the application on April 10th and at that time the last version was from March, maybe they updated it sometime by the end of April. we will call immigration and check with them just to be safe.

I didn't submit a Canadian PCC too, so I am on the same boat as you. But I read the Feb and Apr versions of the document checklists very carefully and they both say that they don't need a Canadian PCC upfront, so I will assume that it is the case.

Hi everybody. I am on the same boat. I didn’t send Canadian PCC neither Mexican PCC upfront because firstly, according to February checklist, PA has been in Canada more than 6 months. Secondly, in the country requirement specification, it says that they will ask for PCC after applying because it requires to follow an specific process and to get a letter to ask for the PCC.
