Guys Need help regarding police certificate.

I just received police certificate from UK for my mother. I have noticed the certificate does not mention the addresses and dates (to-from). Is that a standard format of police certificate from UK? As far as I know addresses and duration is always required for police certificates.

Any one who also applied for UK police certificate please guide. Thank you

Same here, the processing centre received my application on 27th of july and i am still unable to access the status via ecas. You need to use the principle applicant's name and Receipt number as identification type.
Thanks! To keep waiting I guess :/
Aside from being able to check ECAs, we should be getting a confirmation email, correct?

Hi there, my application got to the processing centre on July 28th, as of today, I have not received any emails and I can't access ECAs (or perhaps im not using the right information?) What identification type did you use, and did you use the sponsor's name?
Hi,

My application received July 28 as well and no updates, nothing

Income earned while living in the US does not count. All income must be only from Canadian sources, or earned while living in Canada.

And the only acceptable proof of income is CRA tax return which already has everything converted to CAD.

I wasn't able to yet.
Tried different combinations, wasn't successful. Got locked out for 24 hours !
Give it some time, could take a couple days. Once ready, try this:

use file# and last name
skip passport info
fill out all other mandatory fields
follow upper or lower case letters to match your application
for family size, count only adults who're including in the application (everyone being sponsored as well as the sponsoring side)

Hello guys. I am in a dillema here. I may be able to sponsor my brother along with my parents but my income for year 2014 is below the required mark or 5 persons. (me, my wife, my parents (2) and my brother). I wasnt married back in 2014. but now i am.

Can someone give me an idea how to deal with it ? is there a way around it so that i can also sponsor my brother along with my parents. my brother is 20 years old. and is on a student visa here at york university.

Do you mean that you already submitted a parents app before the rules for dependent age changed, so your brother at the time was not included as dependent or in your family size?

If this is the case, then you would be taking a huge risk by adding him now since if your income doesn't qualify under the new +1 family size they may then simply reject the whole app.

Note that you wouldn't have qualified to submit any parents app if at the time the dependent age was lower and your brother was forced into your family size from the start.

I have not submitted the application yet. I will be sending the completed application next week. I am only lacking in income requirement of about 1800$ for the year 2014.

I there a chance if i can add my brother later on next year in 2018 and showing that i meet the last 3 year (i.e. 2015, 2016, and 2017 income) requirement
