1314707342_policecheckcanada.png.d4159dd9b3a6bf1a1a1254b61f7a1870.png

Hi :)

 

Could someone please help me work out if I need to get a police check for Canada for my K1 visa?

I am an Australian beneficiary.

 

To give some background, I lived in Canada on and off over a period of 18 months, but I never resided there for longer than 5 months consecutively. I have never held citizenship for Canada.

As per the questions above, my answer to 1a would be YES, but my answer to 1b would be NO.

 

If I do need a police certificate can anyone tell me how to get it for Canada? I currently live in Australia.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

It's not consecutive but in the aggregate.   It is resided which is not to be confused with touristing

Hi,

 

I was there on a working holiday VISA. I was living and working there. I was 5 months in, 1 month out, 2 months in, 8 months out and then 3 months in.

I'd get one. That's 10 months living there over an 18 month period - plus working there - which can reasonably be asserted to residing there.

I was also leaning towards getting one, but the criteria is confusing. It seems as though it's implying I only need one if I live in Canada for 6 months or more AND was a citizen at the time. 

 

Perhaps it's better to be safe.
