If your processing extends for more than a year, you will be requested to do new police clearances and medical checks.
So you are good until Feb 2011 on your medical.
is there something in writing where it shows about the police clearance ? Im just wondering because i havent run across anything if they need or not need to be renew it.Yaya Marei said:what I know for police clearance you do not need to renew
but for the medical you need it is valid for a year , so if your medical has or closed to be a year I advice you to renew it even if they do not ask you, prepare and save time.

When I submitted my application to cic... it was last june 24, 2010 and my police clearance and nbi clearance expired at June 16, 2010 since it was issued last June 16, 2009. But, they never asked me one or to renew it.
Only medicals are needed to be renewed... It's only good for 1 year since the issuing date...

"The certificate must have been issued no more than three months prior to submitting your application. If the original certificate is not in English or French, then you will need to submit both the certificate and the original copy of the translation prepared by an accredited translator."
In some cases they do not ask for a new certificate and in some cases they do.
We were afraid that our FBI certificate would expire while the process was going on and since it was taking about 2 months to get the certificate from the FBI we sent away for a second set just in case Buffalo asked for it - then we would have it ready to go and wouldnt have to wait the two months to get it after Buffalo asked. It worked out well for us because the second set arrived right when Buffalo asked for it as they apparently lost the first set that we sent in (separately from the original application).mikeyvr said:Thanks Heather , I will wait for them to ask then.

If we had received the request and had to wait two months for the FBI report I would have had a nervous breakdown.
Also... they dont always ask for new medicals.
