Hello Everyone,

We got our ITA on Dec 22'2016 under CEC category. My husband is working in Canada since Feb'2015 and I joined him in Feb'2016.

Just wanted to know if we need to get police clearance certificate from Canada too.?

If yes, what is the process and how long does it take?

Quick response would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!!

No. You don't need the PCC from Canada.

WRONG

;D ;D ;D

In general, you and all the people in your family who are 18 or older need to get a police certificate.

You may need a police certificate from any country or territory that you have spent six months or more since the age of 18.

For example: if you visited, worked or lived in a country for two months, left for a few years, then returned for four months, that counts as spending six months there. In this case, you would need a certificate.

If you need a police certificate from a country or territory and:

are currently living there, or received the police certificate before leaving, the police certificate must be issued within six months before you apply.
have lived there in the past, the police certificate must be issued after you last lived in that country or territory.

If you do from local police it is ready immediately.
If you do from RCMP, it will take 2-3 days

costs 25-35$

Do I need to provide a Police Certificate [from Canada] with my Application for Permanent Residence? No

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.

The visa officer may ask you for one, but you don't need one to apply.
