Hi

I live in South Africa
For my work permit I need to obtain an Australian Police Clearance Certificate as I worked for ~ 1 Year in Brisbane
I see that the AFP post the original to a POSTAL ADDRESS when applying online
Problem I have is that it takes 4 months to get any mail from overseas due to South African postal strikes
Only reliable way to get mail these days is via COURIER e.g DHL etc
CIC states that it wants me to upload "Original Australian Police Clearance Certificate"
Not sure if I could get AFP to email me the certificate and if that would be acceptable to CIC and emailing CIC for advice doesn't work as they don't respond to emails.

Does anyone know if CIC would accept an emailed certificate ??

1. You can try, but CIC will probably insist on the originals.
