All adult applicants for immigration to Canada must submit a
police clearance, a document that certifies that you have no
criminal record. A clearance must come from each country you have
lived in for 6 months or more since the age of 18 years. If police
in a particular country refuse to issue a clearance, it would be
helpful if they provided a written statement confirming that they
refused to issue the clearance.
7.2 When must I submit the police clearance?
Some Visa Offices may require that these documents be submitted
at the same time as the application forms, applicable fees, and
supporting documents. Other Visa Offices may allow these documents
to be submitted later on in the process. For accurate information,
you should seek expert advice from Bridge2Canada delegate or
head office in Canada.
