Should police clearances be original copy?

[juhanjuhanjuhan]

I am collating documents for my partner's common-law sponsorship and I just received the police clearances by mail.
The checklist doesn't specifically say if I should be sending the original. Should I be sending the copy or the original document?

Thanks!
