Police Reports

[Kammo 2]

As I was preparing my IV packet, I copied a "cover letter template" from a WIKI on this website. I am now a little confused at this (was in template):

" Original/Certified Passport Office Police Certificate for Beneficiary and a copy

Original/Certified Police Clearance Certificate and a copy"

Which is which? I didn't know I needed two different police searches... ??

What I did was go to my local police office and request a police check. Apparently the check I had done is commonly done for people who are opting into volunteer jobs, etc. Did I even do the right one?

I informed them it was for immigration purposes and paid my $50.00.

I was asked to list my address for the last 5 years, my maiden name, current address...

What is Passport Office Police Clearance? Am I to understand now that I require 2 (two) separate police checks?

Super confused.

In some countries (like India) a passport clearance is also required. For Canada though, you just need the police check, which is what you did. You're fine
