Original Police Certificates question for Citizenship application?

[techy86]

My wife is preparing her citizenship application and one item on the checklist is to include the original police certificates where she was present for more than 183 days in the last 4 years.

She landed in Canada at the start of 2015 as a PR and has stayed in Canada the whole time.

Before this she was in her home country (the 4th year) waiting for the PR paperwork to go through during which time we also needed to get a police check and ensure it is translated, etc.. we still have this document.

Can we use this same police check for the citizenship application (given that it is 4 years old now this won't be an issue)?

It also sounds like (based on the check list links) that we won't need to get a Canadian police check for her (unless they ask for it during the process)?

Just wanted to run these questions by for some validation before we submit the application

Thanks for your help.

If she landed at start of 2015 why would you need a police certificate? Bcz 2015-2019 makes it fours years in canada unless she landed in early 2016.

If that is the case yes you would need police certificate from her home country. You can not use old one as most of them expire after 60-90 days.

She landed in early 2015 so it will be 4 years in a few months.

So unless she landed in about end of june 2015 you might not need police certificate as it is only needed if u lived 183 days in any country in last 4 years. So count her stay in her home country from Jan 2015 to Jan 2019 if it is more than 183 u need police certificate if not than dont worry abt it
