Hi,
I am a brit on the verge of applying for my sponsorship visa for canada through my canadian gf. Only problem left is that i was living in Australia for a year (2005) and i need a criminal record check done for Australia. The cic website isn't very helpful as there is nothing I can find, stating what to do if you have lived abroad for over 6 months.
The obtaining police certificate part of the website says that forms should be sent to sydney in oz, though obviously i will be going through the canadian office in london, and not the one in sydney. A full fingerprint check also has to be done (uk check and fingerprint done no problem), i have emailed cic weeks ago but had no reply, and their website states not to call them for information regarding visas.
so i was just wondering if there was anyone out there who could point me in the right direction for getting a criminal record check done in a country u have lived in for more than 6 months.
many thanks,
olly
