Hi all,
Today I received e-mail from CIC with request for additional information regarding my PR application. They asked for police certificates of myself and my family members. I have sent original of my police certificate accompanied with certified translation together with application package and none of my family members (my parents and my sister) are not included in application. Would they need their police certificates anyway?
That is text of the e-mail that I received:
"This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the Spouse or Common-law
Partner in Canada class.

satisfied that the foreign national has applied for that status, has met the obligations set out in
