So as it’s well known, CIC requires police certificates for any country you’ve lived in for longer than six months.
When I was 18 (2006/7) I lived in China for four and a half months as a volunteer English teacher. In 2011 I went to Taiwan for about two months.
Apparently Canada has a one China policy which means they don’t officially recognise the government of Taiwan. Would this mean that they would count my time in both countries as six and a half months in China, and would they therefore expect me to get a Chinese and a Taiwanese police certificate?
That seems like a very difficult thing to do.
