We are in a bit of a dilemma. We just recieved an email from the singapore immigration office to provide police certificate for applicant and spouse within 30 days. We have submitted one for her (the applicant) during the original application submission. That was the RCMP issued letter which was from April 2016.
Ive read online that usually these things usually "expire" in 6 months.
In the email from the immigration says "If you do not provide the correct type of police certificate, the processing of your application will be delayed. Police certificates are valid for one year from the date of issue. If you have already submitted a police certificate which is still valid, you do not need to submit a new one."
Based on this note directly from their office can we use the same one from RCMP? I was told that these RCMP checks expire in 6 months but I had another person tell me that it is up to the immigration office's discretion. Since we are still within the one year mark as per the email, we can submit the same one for her? My wife is not in Canada and Canada is the only country in which she resided for more than 6 months but now she does not have status to redo the RCMP check in person so it will take a very long time to arrange a new RCMP check.
Wondering if anyone can help as we only have 30 days to act. I have already set in my electronic fingerprints to RCMP even though Im not sure if they require a police check from me since I am the sponsor but I am the applicant's spouse.
