Hi Srinivas.vadapalli

I called the Canadian CIC help line to confirm and I explained my whole situation to them but they said no I don't need it because they do their own background check. Basically, they require a Police Clearance for any other country other than Canada. I will getting in touch with the ND office just to make sure as well but looks like I'm in the clear.

Thanks!

Thats good to hear my friend...Congrats and enjoy the moment now...

Hey guys!

My husband got his PPR request today!!! (Feb 29)

Congrats!!!! Also, looks like you got your question solved.

Did you get this passport request in email?
Also, have you guys gotten a "medicals received" message on ECAS yet?

Yes he got his PPR request by e-mail and we did get the update of "medicals received" quite some time ago. We are sending his Passport ASAP as I have been researching on google like a crazy person about my Police Clearance question and I have come accross this information. I hope this is helpful to others in the same situation and if ND still asks for an RCMP clearance, I will keep everyone posted.

Police certificates
If you and your family members who are 18 years of age and older and are not permanent residents or Canadian citizens have to provide:

a valid police certificate, or
police clearance, or
record of no information.
These documents are to be provided for each country other than Canada, in which you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18.

Note: If you or your family members were under 18 years of age (16 years of age in certain jurisdictions) for the entire time you lived in a particular country, you do not need to provide a police certificate for that country.

The certificate must have been issued no more than three months prior to submitting your application. If the original certificate is not in English or French, then you will need to submit both the certificate and the original copy of the translation prepared by an accredited translator.

It is your responsibility to contact the police or relevant authorities. When doing so, you may have to:

pay a fee for the service, and
provide information or documentation such as:
photographs,
fingerprints,
your addresses and periods of residence in the country or territory.
We will also do our own background checks to determine if there are grounds under which you and your dependants may be inadmissible to Canada.

Please consult our website for specific and up-to-date information on how to obtain police certificates from any country.


;D

Hey, can I get some advice from everyone?

First of all, congrats to all those who already received their permanent residence status!
Second of all, I'm a little concerned about the application for my wife. This is what we've got so far:
Applying through Beijing:
December 12th: application received
February 7th: a letter has been sent regarding decision on my application to sponsor (as of Feb 27th have yet to actually receive the letter)
So, on CAS, sponsorship listed as DECISION MADE (does not specify accepted or rejected)
Application for PR: We received [name omitted by me] application for permanent residence on December 12, 2011. Medical results have been received.

How long did it take for you to receive your letter regarding decision about sponsorship?
How do I know if the file has been transfered to Beijing?
Seems a little slow compared to some others, i'm a little worried that my application to sponsor has been rejected, but I wasn't contacted by email.

Thanks everyone, and best of luck!
Bill

Congrats this means you're approved to sponsor your wife and the file has been transferred to Beijing Office. You will get your letter in a day or two...Watch out for the Canada Post man

I wish the Canadian Embassy in Manila will just send PPRs to applicants who indicated their email address. I really don't trust the Philippine postal service.

 

[ksunny]

Can the spreadsheet be updated to show I received my PPR Feb 29?

Thanks!

Thanks for the supporting news! That is about what I thought it would mean, except I've received no confirmation of transfer to Beijing office and just a little anxious.
I should mention that I am currently in China myself. Is it normal for the letter to take a month to get here? I'm a little worried that it's been lost in the post, or lost after arriving at my office.

Thanks again. And as always, best of luck to everyone.

Anyone here, processing in Tokyo, Japan. Ever since we received my letter from CIC with the spnsorship approval. I have been checking my husbands email and my email. I am so anxious to hve an update...do you guy know if Tokyo CIC will send a letter or an email ?.....Our application was transfered to Japan on Feb 1, i haven't heard anything from them. When i check th e-cas it says medical results have been received.

I am asking my husband to apply for a TRV but I dont know what are the chances of him being approved? Do you guys think its a waste if my husband apply for a TRV ?

 

[adventurer]

Ima hug you right now! Thanks adventurer! Will post an update soon.

:-* hug me now sissy! ahhaha anyway... what i can suggest is ask your hubby to pay a visit to your nearest post office or the one in charge at your indicated mailing address.. tell him to kindly ask the person in charge in mail delivery/record to notify you guys or secure any mail address to you and if possible have it delivered as soon as possible. i did the same thing last week.. even before sissy mistletoes received her ppr.. that is how knots i am.. and yes sissy how i wish that it will only be through email ... cause it is far better that way.. no delays and other unfortunate events that we all fear to happen.. anyway.. at the end of story.. the only choice we have is to wait.. and to patiently wait.. and wait more.. and more..it won't be long anyways right?? ;D

Hi sis! My hubby went to the post office yesterday, apparently, the mail man in charge of his area is on leave and will be back on Friday. Hopefully, he has good news for us this Friday. My hubby also spoke with the postal clerk and was told that mails coming from CEM are of high priority. So hopefully, mr. postman will deliver his ppr this Friday! I'm going nuts really!
