Hello,I am currently filling up the citizenship application and hope to submit it soon.I had a question on the police clearance certificate. I applied for PR while I was working in UAE in the year 2018(I am from India).My PR was approved in Nov 2018.I landed in Canada as a PR in March 2019.I have not left the country to go back to the UAE or any other country anytime and was wondering if I still need to submit the police clearance certficate for UAE again?
Yes you'll have to submit PCC from UAE

Look at your COPR - on the top right you'll see country of birth (COB) and country of residence (COR). If your COR is UAE, that means you resided in your country of origin before landing and you don't need a PCC. If your COR says India, that means you were in a country different from your country of origin and need a PCC because you lived in UAE continuously for over 6 months.

Just wanted to ask that once you receive AOR, does that mean that the documents that have been submitted are all complete? And the pictures are ok too?

You receive a pdf in the email where the first line literally says "This is to acknowledge receipt of your application for Canadian Citizenship."

Yes, this is my understanding. Once you receive AOR it means the documents submitted were the correct ones.

I don’t think so. If you look at your AOR it will say this….
This is to acknowledge receipt of your application for Canadian Citizenship. We will review your application and supporting documents and will contact you if additional information is required.



they still have to check the documents and make sure we sent the correct ones.

So, after the AOR, they may request more documentation but your application is never returned, correct?
