FBI Police Clearance Certificate Extension

[Maruchan]

Hello all,
I have to submit my PR application by Dec 31 (90 days). I have all the other documents ready except for FBI Police certificate. I am expecting to get it in mid January.

Generally, IRCC gives 60 days extension if a proper Letter of Explanation and proof of application if police certificate is provided. My question is do I get this 60 days extension after my initial 90 day deadline (31 Dec) or from the day I apply with all my documents (say today- 19 Nov)

Thanks.

If the extension starts from the date I apply with all my documents, it makes sense to wait till the end of 90 day deadline, right?

You shouldn't apply now with an incomplete application. You should wait towards the end of the 90 days with the explanation letter to show that have done the required effort to gather your documents which includes waiting for them. Otherwise, all applicants would have applied without any police certificates and ask to submit it later. Good luck!

FYI, these are the instructions for police certificate:

If you applied for a police certificate, but do not have it by the deadline to submit your online application, write or type your explanation on a blank piece of paper and upload it in the Police Certificate section. You must also upload supporting documents that prove you applied for it, such as a confirmation receipt, payment receipt, delivery notice, tracking number, etc.​

Thanks, it makes sense to wait till the deadline. I am just worried that IRCC does not stop EE program suddenly. That happened with me when OINP stopped registration.

So applying 3-4 days before the deadline will be fine right?

That's perfectly fine. Don't worry. Good luck!
