Police Certificate

[movais]

Hello,

I have submitted my PR Application under express entry, now i have been reading about police certificate and i am bit confused. My application did not ask me to submit a police certificate, so i submitted the application without any police certificate. I came to Canada on September 10, 2010, i turned 19 years old on September 27, 2010. I thought as i was still 18 in Canada they did not require my Police Certificate as i have not traveled anywhere after coming to Canada. Can someone please confirm if i was suppose to get police certificate from my home country or not? If i was suppose to, is there anything i can do right now? My status for application is medical passed and they are processing my back ground check( i think IP2 stage).

Thank you

You don’t need to give us police certificates for any period of time before you were 18 years old or for time spent in Canada.

After you apply, an officer may ask for additional police certificates from any time in your life since you were 18 years old.

Yes i get that part, but i am bit confused for before you were 18 years old? Like is it inclusive of 18 years old or strictly before 18? I called CIC and they said as long as it did not ask during application, you should be fine. But like my Work Permit is expiring next week, i do not think i will have a chance to re-apply if this application gets rejected. So just wanted to make sure.

Everyone gets a custom checklist, which highlights which certificates are required... if you have not got any place holder for the PCC then you should not really worry about it imho.
