Good day we got pcc,cv, IMM 5669 Schedule A Background Declaration and travel history request

 

[aashamsi]

Today we got a PCC request along with additional documents which includes biometric request which I believe should be exempted because it was done as part of super visa request. Moreover, if this wouldn’t have exempted then should be requested in the beginning (immediately after submitting application in Dec 2022.

Does anyone have similar experience where ignored previously done biometric and requested another later in the application process?

Biometrics need to be provided again even if they had been previously provided during super visa application, I had similar experience.

Generally, police certificates are required for countries where the applicant has stayed for 6 months or more in a row. And those are periods from when the applicant turned 18 years AND it has to be within the last 10 years.

However, there may be additional instructions on case by case basis.
See the link below for examples and clarifications, I hope that helps. Good luck!

My mother has lived in KSA until 2003. and since then she left KSA is resident of Pakistan. Now Police certificate from Pakistan for last 10 years would be sufficient only for Pakistan and is not required to cover the period since the age of 18.? Is this correct, please explain
The period she lived in KSA will require police certificate but since KSA wont provide that . I Can explain to visa officer about that.

In the link I previously shared with you from IRCC, there is an an example there that clearly fits your situation:
“Example B: 7-month stay 20 years ago
Feras is 45 years old. He worked in Turkey for 7 months when he was 25 years old. The system will not ask him for a police certificate from Turkey.”

With this in mind, your mother obviously does not need to provide police certificate from KSA unless otherwise specifically requested by IRCC.
Provision of police certificate from Pakistan will be sufficient. Good luck!

Once their passport is stamped, your parents can choose to enter Canada any time within the validity of their stamped visa. The visa expiry date is written on the top right-hand corner. This expiry date is same as the expiry date on their COPR. Good luck!
