Police certificate problems

[Amine.Hadji]

Hello,
My wife applied to sponsor me in September 2014 her part of being a sponsor was accepted, and the file was sent to Paris office as I am a Tunisian applicant for PR from out-land, the Paris office they sent an Email to us in December 2014 and asked me to bring a police certificate from Libya and the my travel history, we sent them the travel history, but the police certificate no, because my wife send them an E mail and told them that i never spent 6 months a row in Libya so they replay to her and said okay as long as you said that, but 2 days ago they sent us a new E mail and they ask us again to send them that police certificate. Libya as we all know is a place of terrorism and civil war now.
When i was in Libya i stay there 2 months sometimes 4 but i never stay there 6 months in a row then i go back to Tunisia where i stay 12 or 15 days then back to Libya to work
I left Libya since 18 of July 2014 and never come back because the company I was working for they stopped all them activities there, I can't risk my life and go to Libya now to get that certificate,
yesterday I sent them an E mail and i explained that for them but they didn't replay yet
what do you suggest to me please help me

If you were in Libya working and only left for 15 days at a time, that was considered as residing there, and the 15 day absence won't restart the period of counting 6 months for needing a police certificate. 2 weeks is basically the span of a vacation, so your country of residence was still Libya and not Tunsnia.

If you were in Libya working for 4 months, then visited Tunsnia for 12 days and then worked for another 2 months in Libya then back to Tunsnia for 15 days, you were living in Libya for 6 months (or longer if this pattern continued) and CIC is right to ask for a police check from the country.

How to Get a Police Certificate - Libya

If you are not a citizen of Libya

If you live in Libya:

You must go to your local police station where you will complete a Certificate of Innocence (Chahadet Baraa in Arabic) see Special notes and considerations). Note: the form is not available online.

If you live outside of Libya:

Certificates are not available for former residents.

Apparently it's the same for citizens of Libya who are outside of Libya, too!

Anyhow, I suggest that you or your wife make a copy of this CIC page and send it to the CIC office that is requesting a police check from Libya. Email them the link and also copy and paste it and attach it as a PDF file (everything in triplicate! j/k).

You were trying to get out of the police check for the wrong reason, because you thought that it's only if you were there non-stop 6 months, but a trip of just a few weeks will be seen as just a short vacation.

I suggest that your wife also contact her MP and have him/her contact CIC just to be sure that CIC understands that you are not able to get a police check as a former resident and there's no feasible/reasonable way for you to visit just to obtain a police check.
