Hi sandr,
Nice thread you provided to clear up the IELTS validity issue. I have same
query regarding PCC validity.
The cic website in clearance regarding the POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE
says in INTRODUCTION
"If you want to immigrate to Canada, you and your dependants may have to
provide police certificates when you submit your application for permanent
residence. Visa offices may also request certificates from students and
temporary foreign workers."
which indicates, it is an issue to the Visa Office, i.e. Singapore, New
Delhi etc., not of CIO.
Again in "what is Police certificate" they say "They are issued by police
authorities or government departments and used by Citizenship and
Immigration Canada (CIC) to prevent individuals who pose a risk to
Canada’s security from entering the country."
which indicates it is an issue to the CIC.
Again regarding validity in "Who needs a police certificate" it says "The
certificate must have been issued no more than three months before you
submit your application."
Now My question is the validity is relates to the submission of first
application to CIO, sydney? or it is related to submission to the second
application upon receiving the 1st AOR?
Now, see, the matter is, since, in the first application to CIO does not
require any thing regarding PCC, the validity is not supposed to be
related to the submission of this application.
Furthermore, the collection and submission of PCC comes after receiving of
1st AOR. After receiving this letter, allong with all other documents, PCC
is one of the docs that is to be collected and submitted to the respective
Visa Office. So, "no more than three months before you submit your
application" means before you submit your application to Visa Office,
Singapore, in my case.
QUORAX, PMM, SANDR, ALIZIA, OLABISI, AND OTHER SENIORS PLEASE CORRECT ME
IF I AM WRONG.
