Hello all,
I have a few questions regarding the police certificate as one of the required documents for the PR application.
1. It is required for all the family members (including kids under age 18) or just for grown.
Not sure about this , but I assume only adult would be subject for the police clearance.
2. Is there an expiration date for the police certificate (for example, if someone got the police certificate today, and then he applies for the PR after two months, is the police certificate still accepted by IRCC or he has to do it again).
Yes , there is an expiration date - for FBI check it’s 6 months , for police clearance certificate from your own country - 1 year
3. What is the best way to do the police certificate while I am in the US? By mail or online according to your experience.
Do it online , took me 2 days
4. When I download the fingerprint form of the police certificate. Should I have to do the fingerprint by myself or there is an official office that I have to go and do it there.
Some people do it in themselves, I don’t recommend you so, better go to any of the police department offices and they will take it for you ( I paid like 10$ per each fingerprint card )
5. How much the fees for the fingerprint for each person.
you mean to take it or the FBI fee ? The fingerprints itself depend on where you take them - yourself or at the police office. The FBI fee was something around 18$ per a person if I remember correctly
6. For family, each individual person has to do the police certificate individually, or the family can apply and send it as one package.
In my case we did it individually.
Thank you in advance,
