Hi there,
I am sponsoring my husband for Permanent residency outside canada. He is a US citizen. We've been waiting 19 months and they are now asking for more information. Due to a petty misdemeanor (theft of a CD over 5 years ago with no other convictions) we are now being asking to apply for rehabilitation. He was fined, appeared in court to pay the fine and it was done. We understand that but not sure what they are asking for in their letter.
I'm hoping someone could help us with these questions....
1) What is a certificate of rehabilitation?
2) They are asking for: Police Certificate from every country/state you have lived in since you were 18. We are just waiting on a new FBI and have all of the state certificates. Question being, do we need one from the RCMP as well? He has had a temporary resident permit since September of 2012 when we decided to stay together up here in Canada while we wait so he technically hasn't had an address in the US (besides his PO box for mail) for longer than 6 months. However he's only a visitor. Do we need and RCMP record?
3) If so, any indications from anyone as to how long this takes? Immigration is only giving us 120 days to gather all of the information and from what I read, we would not get that back within that time. Do we just send to Immigration what we have and proof that we've submitted for that request from RCMP and are just waiting?
Thanks!
