Hello,
I'm currently applying for the permanent residency in Canada. I lived in Shanghai, China for 1 year (2009 to 2010) with a visa F (student). I need to provide a "Certificate of No Criminal Convictions" or "Notary Certificate of No Criminal Convictions" and a notarized translation.
I reached out to several organizations but none of them was able to give me a clear answer about how to get this document. I am not even sure if there is a way for me to get this document from China knowing I didn't register at the police station during my stay (so they may not have a record of me) and I have a category F visa (student).
Also I have read that in some cities, you are required to go in person to the police station to do the request. I'm not sure what Shanghai requires?
Lastly, I also read that sometimes we can get the police clearance waved. i have my police clearance from the country where I come from. I'm missing the one from China where I lived 1 year. Do you think i could get the Chinese police clearance waved? What are the requirements for that?
Is anyone able to provide some guidance?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
