Hi,
I've applied for the Canada PR (spouse-sponsored) in June - the CIC received the application on July 19, 2013. I have received a confirmation correspondence from New Delhi Immigration office on September 18, 2013. I was asked to submit (1) landing fee (2) police clearance certificate and (3) passport.
The following is the note from the document:
* Submission of police clearance certificates for time spent in any country for a period of 6 months or more, if not already submitted.
In my application, I had submitted a Police Clearance certificate dated 16-Mar-2013.
Should I be getting a new certificate now that the submitted one is considerably outdated (I understand CIC considers anything older than 3 months as invalid document)?
Please advise.
Also, would like to know how long it would generally take for CIC to return my passport with visa (or ask me for an interview)?
Thanks,
Pradeep
