Police Certificate Question

I have lived in Canada since I was 17(In September). I stayed here for school, applied for a PGWP and this was at a total of 7 years. My checklist says I need a police certificate but the website says I have to obtain a police certificate for every country I have lived in since I was 18. I am confused because I have only been in Canada since I was 18.

Should I still submit the police certificate of my home country?

Did you visit your home country for a cumulative time period of 6 months or more? If yes, then you need a PCC from your home country as well.

Well that's the thing that confuses me. I have not left Canada since not even to visit my home country.

What is that checklist? I think you are referring to a generalized checklist , where it is to inform you that you will have to get PCC. This does not mean that you MUST produce one, however, if your circumstances will change before filing ITA so that you were out of COuntry for a total 6 months, then you will have to get PCC.

So that list is very generalized, and you can not invent one if you have not been anywhere. If the list you are referring to in post ITA upload, then attach a document saying that I have never visited any Country since my 18th Birthday, and you are done.

Sweet, it was the POST ITA personal document checklist. I was just taken aback because I thought it was personalized. Thank you
