police certificates anyone?
Hi,
Patiently waiting. Honestly, maybe it is because Canada has been my home for over 10 years, but the wait has gone by so fast so far! I still kick myself because about 2 years out of those 10 are down to me, for not being a resident yet. But I digress...
I recently switched jobs, and my new company used an immigration solicitor (after I'd applied). She basically justified herself by bringing up some concerns with my application that didn't turn out to be valid because I got my new permit and everything worked out (some NAFTA jazz). One thing she did say, is that I should get my police clearance certificates sent up from Mexico BEFORE CIC asks, which she guarantees they will. I have been in Canada for over 10 years, but I did officially live in Mexico for a year after I was 18. I haven't noticed any talk about this in the forum; my understanding was that you just waited for them to ask for any RCMP clearance if required, if you'd been here for a while.
I'm actually trying to be proactive for a change haha
I did ask a fellow Mexican that got her residence a couple of years back, and she said she had to make a request in Mexico, but she hadn't been here for half as long as me (I know...) and she had lived in Mexico for quite a while after turning 18.
It's not too bad to go to the Police Station and ask them for fingerprints to send to Mexico for a records check to be sent to CIC later on by them.
Hopefully, I didn't convolute what really is a simple question.
Cheers everyone from lovely Vancouver
