Hi All,
I received the following police certificate request back in March:
"We are continuing to review your application for admission to Canada. We require an updated original Police Certificate for you and your members of your family who are 18 years of age or older.
Please note: The above information/documents must be received within 60 days from the date of this correspondence. If this deadline is not met, your application will be assessed based on the information that was provided with your application and your application could be rejected. Please upload these documents to your MyCIC account.
If the issuing authority procedure is to send the police certificate directly to the IRCC office, please refer them to the following address.
If the documents are not already in English or French, all documents must be accompanied by English or French translations by certified translators. When original documents are requested, you must send original documents. We do not accept copies signed by notaries."
Based on the above, I scanned and uploaded the police certificate to MyCIC account as requested.
Now, I'm still awaiting the outcome of my PR application. However, this waiting game is making me think too much! (which I hate the most about this process), and all of a sudden I started thinking what if they were requesting for the ORIGINAL certificate not a scanned copy? I highlighted the words in the letter above that made me confused about this. I mean first they ask for an original, then they said I have to upload it to MyCIC, but again they mentioned if original is requested they don't accept copies! So based on your experiences and IRCC letter mentioned above, did I do the right thing? Or was I supposed to send the ORIGINAL document instead to them?
Your urgent advice will be highly appreciated, thanks.
