Hello everyone,

I received a letter from IRCC in April containing the following informations : (the letter will be at the bottom of my post).

We were under the impression that this was only a reminder and we did not need to start the process to ask for a Mexico police certificate. Are we wrong ? There was no date that they gave us to provide the certificate.

We were still waiting for a precise letter with instructions (like with the medical exam and CSQ). But we're getting worried, on the new tracking tool on the government website, it says :
Elligibility : Completed
Medical Exam : Completed
Background verification : NOT STARTED

Our application was sent in the beginning of februrary, shouldn't the background verification have started ?

In our online application, they are also clearly stating that there's also no document we need to provide for the moment.

In conclusion, we're completely mixed regarding the police certificate.

Here's the letter :

This refers to the Application for Permanent Residence you made under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class.

Reminder - Police Certificate Police Certificate (Mexico): If you have spent the majority of your adult life (since the age of 18) in Mexico, you must obtain a police certificate from that country. For further information on how to obtain a police certificate, please visit the following link (link)

then a Reminder - Medical Examination (and at the same time we received a letter to go pass the medical exam) and a Reminder for permanent residence fee.

All requested documents/information and a copy of this letter must be submitted within the timeframes specified above (formatted as “year/month/day”). If you are unable to provide any or all of the requested documents/information, please explain why they are not available. No other reminder will be sent to you. If you fail to provide the requested information, your application will be assessed on the basis of the information that we have which may result in the refusal of your application.

(But no date for the police certificate?)

Thanks in advance
