Thanks for your detailed reply.As per IRCC:
Applications that do not include a required police certificate and do not provide supporting documentation where required will be rejected as incomplete.
- For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than 6 months before the submission of the e-APR.
- For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant stayed in that country for 6 months or more in a row.
- Police certificates meeting the above requirements can be accepted even if they have an expiry date that has passed.
- This includes the requirement to provide a police certificate for countries in which the individual has travelled for 6 months or more in a row, whether or not the individual had an established residential address during this time.
- Police certificates are required upfront and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has spent 6 months or more in a row within the last 10 years. The individual does not need to provide one for any period of time before the age of 18.
- Police certificates need to be a scan of the original police certificate(s) in colour. Certified true copies and unauthorized copies are unacceptable and will result in the application being rejected as incomplete.
The officer can exercise discretion when assessing whether police certificates that do not fall within standard IRCC parameters may still be required to process the application. When necessary, an officer can use discretion in their determination of whether or not a client is admissible to Canada by using other documents or mechanisms that are available to them.
It clearly states that you only have to provide PCC for each country (except Canada) where an individual has spent 6 months or more in a row within the last 10 years.
The instructions are clear.
so even if I have stayed more than 6 months in Malaysia after the age of 18 but more than 10 years ago.
Not Providing pcc for malaysia in the application will not be the reason for rejection?
