Hi,
I am sponsoring my mother to come to Canada as part of parent/grand parent sponsorship. I applied in 2016 and the application has been accepted. I read from this forum that my mother has to get police clearance certificate from all countries she had been in since she turned 18. She visited Ethiopia about 40 years ago and stayed there for about a year and half. She is an Indian citizen and is currently in India. I checked the CIC website about how to apply for Ethiopian PCC, and it does give you the address to apply but there is no mention of how much fees to pay and in what currency. We do not know any one in Ethiopia currently so applying from within the country is out of question.
Has any one been successful in applying for PCC from Ethiopia from other countries ? If so, can you please elaborate on the procedure and the fees to pay and how long does it take to get one ? I also read in some other forums/websites Ethiopian PCC is only given to its citizens and residents ? Does any one know if this is true ? I would like to be proactive and get as much information as possible about PCCs now itself.
