I just want to confirm a couple of things about sec a police certificate.

20 year old international student (Primary Applicant) husband permanent resident. The only country she’s spent six months or more since the age of 18 is Canada.

1. She only needs to get a police certificate from the RCMP?
2. All the people in your “family” who are 18 or older need to get a police certificate. What family members are considered family?

Thank you

Hello

Maybe you can help me, I am still confused...

I am the principal applicant and my husband is my sponsor, do we need to submit Police Certificate's for him as well? The only country he has spent more than 6 months in is Canada.

I am also wondering, I got a Police Certificate about two months before I left my country (for my visa) and have been in Canada ever since (8 months now - valid visitor visa) do I need to get a new Police Certificate for my country even though I haven't been there since I last left?

And lastly, I assume I am to get a Police Certificate for Canada?

Hi

Your husband does not need PCCs.

Yes, you need a new PCC.

No, you don't need a Canadian PCC.
