Police Certificate: Quick Information Guide

Planning to move to Canada? You might need a police certificate, an important document for immigration. This certificate plays a vital role in the Canadian immigration process by helping authorities confirm whether you have a criminal record or not. Let’s explore police certificates, who requires them, when to submit, and how to get one.

What is a Police Certificate?

A police certificate is an official statement confirming whether you have a criminal record status or providing a record if you have one. It is known by various names, like police clearance certificates or good conduct certificates. If your certificate isn’t in English or French, a certified translator’s translation is essential.

Who Needs a Police Certificate?

The necessity of a police certificate hinges on your chosen immigration program. Typically, applicants and family members aged 18 or older might need one. Here are some common situations:

Express Entry Applicants

If you’re pursuing the Express Entry program, you usually have 90 days to submit your police certificate. To avoid delays, start this process as soon as you enter the Express Entry pool.

International Experience Canada (IEC) Aspirants

IEC candidates often need a police certificate when applying for a work permit in Canada. This ensures the safety and eligibility of temporary workers and visitors.

Other Immigration or Citizenship Programs

Requirements for police certificates can vary in different programs. Consult the program’s instruction guide for specific guidelines.

How to Obtain a Police Certificate?

Getting a police certificate typically involves contacting the relevant authorities in your country. Here’s an overview:

Provide Information: You may need to provide personal details, documents, photographs, fingerprints, and your addresses and residence dates.

Fees May Apply: Expect to pay a fee for the certificate. Fee amounts can vary.

Contact Local Authorities: Reach out to local police or government agencies responsible for issuing police certificates in your country. They will guide you through the process.

Starting early is essential, as obtaining a police certificate can be time-consuming. This way, you’ll have the necessary documentation ready when it’s time to submit your immigration application.
