Work Permit Application: Police Clearance Report requested; Advise me

[uma1982suthan]

Hi,

I am a Sri Lankan citizen, currently working in Japan as a postdoc researcher, and submitted my application for the work permit through online on Feb 10 (2017).

Three days before, I received a request for submission of an additional document, multiple police clearance certificates, from Japan (where I live currently) and Sri Lanka (my nationality).

Since I already expected that I might need police clearance, I had already applied and obtained the document from Sri Lankan police (which was issued last month and I hope it is valid). Meanwhile, I have applied the clearance from Japan police yesterday and it would take 7 days. The CIC have given me 2 weeks of time before which I have to lodge the clearance certificates.

In CIC website, it has been indicated that I might upload the evidence showing that I have already applied for the clearance from police. At this time, would you think, that I should upload the Sri Lankan clearance report along with the temporary receipt issued by Japan police? Or should I wait until Japan police clearance certificate arrives and collectively upload both of them?

Thank you.

Greetings, uma1982suthan.

CIC also advised me to submit a police clearance from Japan. May I ask if you received an official Letter of Request for Police Clearance from CIC to submit to Japan? I have not received such document, hence, I can't file my application with Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

I already emailed CIC regarding these matter but I haven't received a reply as of yet.

Can you advice me on how to obtain the request letter from CIC? Or can anyone here answer my query?

Thank you in advance.
