Sorry if this question has been asked before.
I've read elsewhere that it's permissible to send the police checks during processing, despite what CIC's forms say, and that it's better to send your application immediately to get in the queue than to wait for the police checks to arrive.
Can anybody confirm this?
We thought they all needed to be sent in at the outset. It took us months to get my wife's police certificates from various countries. While we were waiting for one of them, which took a long time, one of the others expired (CIC says they're valid for three months). So we had to apply for one of them again. While we were waiting for that one, a second one expired, so we had to renew it. It was like dominoes. This ordeal probably delayed submitting our application by two months.
My wife says that if it is allowed, then at least I'll know this for next time. (CIC, if you're reading, it was only a joke!)
