Hello! I received my PAL yesterday. I was excited, but then they asked me for a criminal record certificate from Mexico, and I'm not Mexican. I studied in Mexico 22 years ago... could that be why they asked for it? They sent me a letter to request the certificate in Mexico, but I have no idea how to do it. I don't live there, and I don't know anyone there... I already wrote to the email from which they requested this document, but they haven't responded. Maybe they made a mistake? Or is it normal for them to ask for this document from a country I was in 22 years ago? Does anyone know of a similar case?:rolleyes:

If you studied in Mexico then you lived there for more than 6 months. Or did you just go there for a couple of months? If more than 6 months you need PCC. Dont’ need to be Mexican citizen to be asked to provide PCC for Mexico. Google IRCC police certificate.

You must get a police certificate from each country or territory where you have lived for six or more months in a row since the age of 18.

Received my passport back from the IRCC.

Visa is stamped in it. CoPR form included as well.

It's completed.

I first applied back in 2007. After 5 years those applications were thrown out to clear the backlog. Reapplied in 2020.

Long journey, but it's done.

Good luck to all of you.
