@HandC2000 I understand what you're saying but the letter doesn't ask for a police certificate from home country at this point. It clearly states to provide one covering the past 10 years. And it states IRCC 'may' request one that covers you since you turned 18.

I had posted this query to find out if anyone else had a similar situation and if we should provide one from the home country even though the letter doesn't ask for it (yet).

Hello bushra1122,

Even if your father has been here for 200 years, he still have to provide a police certificate to prove that he is free from any crime since he turned 18 years.

I am not very sure older people (75+) are allowed to submit police reports. You can check it out. 

They just want to see if there is any criminal record ever in his life from when he turned 18 years whether in Canada or elsewhere he stayed for at least 6 months.

@Hanc2000 congrats, I'm here reading and smiling as if it's my AIP. You're closer to your final stage. I'm so happy for you. For your open work permit I believe you can do either paper or online. You can't get health card yet without the owp or pr. Because the AIP is just an expectation granted letter and not your actual status in the country.

Here's the part from the letter regarding police certificates:

"It is necessary that you and your dependent(s) spouse and any children over the age of 18, if applicable, provide police certificates from all countries in which you resided for period accumulating to 6 months or longer in the last 10 years, including Canada (RCMP fingerprints). If necessary, an officer may ask for additional police certificates from any time in your life since you were 18 years old.

These checks must be national and not just local. For more information on how to obtain a police certificate, please visit: http://www.cic.gc.ca/enGlIsH/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp

The police certificates must include all criminal records under your name or confirm that you do not have a criminal record. You may be required to pay a fee to the agency. Please forward the police certificate(s) to this office together with, a certified translation document if the information submitted is not in English or French."

This is the exact quotation in the letter. My father has been in Canada since 2002 and hasn't left at all.

Hi Strong-mom, 

How are you doing today? I now have my AIP from IRCC. It came through the post like your. Please have a couple of questions. 

1. How did you apply for OWP (online or paper)? What was your status when you applied? If you are out of status and you applied online, how did you respond to the question about your current status? I am out of status since 2014 and the system is asking for my status in Canada when I try to respond to eligibility questions. 

2. Since you live in Alberta (Edmonton), did you apply for Alberta drivers license and Alberta health card? Could you share with me how you did it and any special requirement from them? So how have you been? I know you're waiting and prepared for the final interview.

3. Anyone with clue to the questions is most welcomed to respond.

bushra1122,

Police clearance is a requirement for PR in Canada. It is highly required for background and security checks to actually know who you are.

So they have to ask for one in due time, unless you have not spent 6 months or more since after you turned 18 years in that particular country. So what out for their communication soonest.

Guys,

My H&C reasons were hardship in country of origin and establishment in Canada. Those were the basic reasons, plus other personal issues.

Is it possible for IRCC to not ask for a police certificate from home country even when you didn't submit one with the initial file.
