police certificate question

[LJJSE]

Hi all -
I'm applying for PR through the Spouse / Common-law in Canada class and I just received a letter stating :

"In order to continue processing your application, a police certificate is required from [home country] in which you have spent the majority of your adult life (since the age of 18) other than Canada."

The thing is, I have spent the majority of my adult life in Canada. I am wondering if I should contact CIC to clarify or if I should just go ahead and send the certificate.

The other thing is that they require the certificate in a month's time. I know for sure this certificate will not be ready within a month in my home country. Has anyone been in this situation / has any advice on how to handle this?

Thanks!!

If they are requesting the information there really is no clarification you can do. You need to provide the police certificate.

Best thing to do is apply for the certificate. Open a webform and attach the proof that you have applied and let them know how long the certificate will take to process from your home country and that you will provide it as soon as possible
