but sounds wierd to ask Police certificate because just before issuing my visa they asked me a new Police Certificate so just before i leave back home , i gave them Police certificate and they got it for that period and after that i was in canada
It may sound weird, but if you don't, your app returned and delayed.

Section 10
- Write all your addresses inside and outside of Canada you used during your eligibility period, including the postal codes, starting with your current home address. If you were residing, employed or attending school outside Canada, you must list all of your foreign addresses, including the postal codes or ZIP codes. Press the (+) plus button if you need more space.
Provide information that covers the entire eligibility period. Do not leave any gaps during this period and do not leave this section blank. If you do, your application will be returned to you.
- Within the last 4 years, if you spent 183 days or more in another country (other than Canada), you must provide a police certificate. You must provide a police certificate for each country where you spent 183 days or more. If you cannot get a police certificate, tell us why.
Example 1
In the past 4 years, you took one (1) trip to France that lasted 200 days. You would answer “Yes” to the question and you would need to provide a police certificate from France.
Example 2
In the past 4 years, you took 10 trips to the United States of America (USA). Each trip lasted 3 weeks, for a total of 210 days. You would answer “Yes” to the question and you would need to provide a police certificate from the USA.
Example 3
In the past 4 years, you spent one year (365 days) working in Singapore. While working in Singapore, you took a trip to Malaysia (10 days) and Thailand (10 days). You would answer “Yes” to the question and you would need to provide a police certificate from Singapore. You would not need to provide police certificates from Malaysia or Thailand.
Example 4
In the past 4 years, you took one (1) trip to Europe where you visited Portugal (5 days), Spain (7 days), France (10 days), Belgium (3 days), Netherlands (3 days), Germany (21 days), Switzerland (7 days) and Italy (21 days). You took a second trip to Europe where you visited Ireland (14 days), Scotland (14 days) and England (21 days). You went to Germany for a business trip that lasted 60 days. The total time you were outside of Canada was 186 days but you were not in a single country for 183 days or more. You would answer “No” to the question and you would not need to provide police certificates from any of the countries.
Lucky .
Now logic stopped working as applications delivered 12,13,14,17,18 onwards still have no AORs. God help us.
No logic or what so ever. Look at the months August or September, some people still did not get their AOR till today. Oct 12 and 13 applicants who still did not get AOR could be the unluckiest one. The pathetic part is we can't do anything about it
I have always thought about applying for a civilian rcmp job... would they actually expedite my application if I say I want to ASAP?!
One of the reason IRCC could expedite your application if your job requires to travel outside of Canada and required Canadian Passport then your employer must write a letter of explanation of why they can not keep you employed unless you are Canadian Citizen. ( meaning you will be fired if you do not have Canadian passport.) IRCC then evaluate and the make their justification. But it is very unlikely that any employer would ever issue a letter like that. This is just an example!
A correction: The applicable time period for PCC is 4 years but not eligibility period.
It should be same as you stated but question is not statong the same. Applicant has to provide PCC if applicant has spent 183 days, continuous or in phases, in another country during last 4 years from the date of application.
When IRCC begins processing your application, they will send an acknowledgment of receipt letter to your mail or an email with the application number to your online account. The acknowledgement of receipt letter is only sent to the applicant when they have opened the application and ensured that it is completed.
