https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/where.htmlHi there - my parents received a PCC request for all countries that they resided in since the age of 18. My Mum was in India for 2.5 years in 1970 which is almost 50 years ago and to request the PCC, we need proof of residency which she doesn’t obviously have from that far back. They are currently with me in Toronto. Any ideas on what I can do or if anyone else has had a similar problem?
If you can’t get a police certificate from your country or territory
If you’re unable to get a police certificate from a country, you’re responsible to show why you can’t get one.
To prove that you can’t get a police certificate, you must:
- show proof that you requested a police certificate from the correct authorities and
- write a letter explaining all the efforts you have taken to get one
