Hey everyone
I have two dumb questions on PCC:
For countries that there is a need of Letter of request, there is no need to upload that PCC immediately after receiving the ITA correct? I was reading the IRCC website and apperently you just need to check or upload something that you are applying to a country that needs an official letter.
My understanding is that after AOR they would send me the request, and then I would be able to get the PCC. Currently it look like the office in Mexico that handles the required PCC has not categorized that certificate as essential, so they are not giving them..
Not sure if someone has experience with a country with this policy for PCC
From IRCC website:
"If you need a request letter
Some countries will only give you a police certificate if you have a request letter from us. If this applies to you:
- Upload a document in the police certificate field in the document checklist that says: “I am applying from a country that requires an official request letter from IRCC to get a police certificate”.
We’ll then review your application.
If it is otherwise complete, we’ll send you more information on how to get a police certificate."
Also, I traced back all of my travel for the last 10 years, and it appears I only need the PCC from México (I'm currently living here and I am from here) and USA (worked there for about 5 years, got a PCC a week before I left, but sent my fingerprints last week to get an updated one. I studied abroad in Sweden, and had extended biz travel to Brazil, but none of those come close to exceed the 6 month requirement, its closer to 4 months each. I should be set only with US and Mexico right?
