PCC for non-accompanying spouse when they already have a PR

[suhrudl]

Hello, I got my ITA during the latest draw on Sept 15th.
I am married, and my wife already has a PR and we are both living in Canada (I am on work permit).
I applied for my PR myself through EE via CEC as the processing time by this method would likely be faster than my wife sponsoring me.

Now, in my ITA, they are asking for the police certificates for my wife again. Not sure if this is a glitch/ i filled out some answers incorrectly. She already had submitted all her docs during her PR application 2 years ago. Can someone please confirm if she really has to get her police certificates again for a second time?

In my application, I answered in the following manner:
Marital Status: Married
My wife will not be accompanying me. (because she is already here)
Do I have a relative who is a citizen or permanent resident of Canada: Yes, my Spouse/Partner.


Thank you for your responses in advance!

Hi,

I'm kind of in the same situation. Did you end up taking the PCC or submitting a LOE?

I called IRCC and they said it is fine if we attach LOE and not get a new PCC for my wife. However i did not want to take any chances so started the process anyway.

Did anyone got success with LOE only?
Is it the right way and acceptable by the immigration officer?
Please suggest, I have already got the invite and waiting for documents to submit.

You can try submitting the old PCC, however it depends upon the officer. Otherwise you can submit your docs and start the process of PCC, in case you are asked you will get a new one by that time.
