Hello, i received my file number from CIC canada 2 days ago and I'm just wondering what are the steps to take after i get the file number? for what i've heard, they will request the police certificates and after that, the medical exams but in the CIC web page is not clear enough of what i have to do to get my police records if I'm living in canada in the present day. once i send the whole package of documents they will transfer it to the PGR and then send it to ottawa (where my file is)???? and also they mention about not making any payments at all. so what to do? i was reading forums regarding the same topic and people say they followed the steps as in the webpage but CIC never got anything at all, like the documents where lost or something. what is my best option? follow all those steps and take a chance without waiting for CIC to request police records? or just wait and ask a relative in mexico to do everything for me down there? thank you very much, and VIVA MEXICO
How to obtain police certificates
Step 1. Apply for certificates
It is your responsibility to contact the relevant authorities.Certificates are usually issued by the police of the country concerned, but in some countries you will have to apply to municipal, provincial, federal or other government authorities. The country's embassy or consulate in Canada may be able to give additional information.
When applying for police certificates, you should include for each person:A completed Request for Police Certificates/Clearances and Authorization for Release of Information) (PDF, 59 KB) form (see Appendix A)
