Hello Everyone,

My PR application has been with IRCC for close to 7 months. Few weeks ago, I got an ADR to submit biodata page of my passport as well as other pages. I was worried because I have been expecting PPR. It's a new passport with no visa stamps on it. I have done a lot of research about this and read all manners of submissions (travel history checks, background, criminality and all sorts).

Please, I would like to find out if anyone had gotten similar ADR and what was done to sail through.

Thank you.

Welcome JohnKayBlessed very easy I have seen a case like this what you need to do document everything and send to IRCC let me explain

IRCC’s Usual Requirement:

For most permanent residence applications, IRCC requires police certificates from every country where you have lived for 6 months or more since the age of 18.

However, they also recognize that some applicants may have difficulty getting a PCC from certain countries (e.g., countries where they are refugee claimants).


if You Can’t Get a PCC:
if the authorities in your current country refuse to issue a PCC (or say it might harm your asylum claim), you should:

Provide written proof that you tried to obtain it (for example, a letter from the police explaining why they can’t issue it, or why applying might endanger your status).

Include a detailed explanation with your application explaining the situation.


What IRCC will Do:

They often understand these situations and may grant an exemption if you demonstrate that it’s genuinely impossible to obtain the PCC.

They will wave it for you but you must show proof email from the police department or written letter something that can be traced back to the police office

what you should do
Collect any correspondence or refusal letters from the police or other authorities explaining the impact on your status.

Write a clear, concise letter explaining your situation, referencing the fact that you’re an international protection applicant and that obtaining a PCC could jeopardize your claim.

Attach these documents to your application under the “Police Certificates” section.

If possible, also mention any steps you’ve taken to try to get the PCC (emails, appointment records, etc.). This shows you made a reasonable effort.

Hello,

Thanks for your advice the other day. I did all you mentioned but I am still being asked for the PCC. Please, what's the way forward on this?

Thank you so much for taking time to advise. I'll do as advised.
God bless you.

I am very new here.

I would like to ask if my PR application will be considered without Police Clearance Certificate from the country I reside currently. I received an invite to apply.

I am an international protection applicant in one of the European countries. The police department told me that my PCC request could impact my application.

Can anyone kindly advise on how to go about this?
