Hello, I am applying for common law sponsorship. I am from Thailand but came to Canada for study since I'm 17. It's been 7 years that I am in Canada and only time that I went home for over 6 month is during Covid in 2021 (I was there for 9 months). After 2021 I've never leave Canada until now 2025. I found that it said if you reside in Canada you don't need to get police certificate but in the application it has (require) so i guess you need to put something there in order to submit.

Please help if I should get Police certificate from Thailand or not or just wait after submit the application if they ask for one.

Thank you

Hello. I am Thai. It does not hurt to get it. I had someone got it for me in Thailand while I was in Canada applying for PR, and they scanned it to me. There were no issues with the application.

Well I initially submitted the application on May 6 2024. The application was returned to me due to the missing pcc. I did not receive any early communication or query of the missing pcc. I would have to resubmit my application on June 14, which was treated as a new application, with a different application number.
My wife would have had her PR card handy by now If my initial application was not returned and I provided them the missing pcc upon request (which never came) as you mentioned.
It will not be returned but you will be asked to provide it before a certain time or your application will be assessed based on the fact you did not submit a pcc
Seems YMMV, so no right or wrong, only consequences.
