Hi guys,
I am planning to apply for PR status for my lover after our marriage in Canada.
But his experiences are complicated. He lived in four different countries since he turned into an adult, and stayed in each country for more than six months.
Our question is: based on the checklist from IRCC, he only needs to provide the police certificate from the country he stayed in for the longest time since 18 years old. But based on many other people, he might have to provide all those police certificates from those countries he stayed for more than six months.
Can anybody please give us some latest information about that?
So many thanks in advance!

Where on the checklist does it say “the longest time”? You should provide it for all countries over 6 months.
