I am a German citizen living with my sponsor here in Canada and almost ready to send my outland application.
I had to apply for police certificates from various countries. For better organizing/timing my application or rather the needed documents it would have been very helpful to know the waiting times for the different police certificates as they are not supposed to be older than 3 months at the time CIC receives the application (I only had a rough idea for the US). Maybe someone out there finds him/herself in a similar situation so I would like to share the current (! - I assume those flactuate) waiting times for the police certificates I applied for:

Austria: 1.5 weeks (I had to apply for it directly at the consulate in Montréal)
Germany: 2 weeks
UK: 4 weeks
USA: 5.5 weeks

Hope this helps!
