So, I didn't get an interview until this month, and I kind of messed up. Before the interview, I was going through my documents and saw my police clearance certificate (PCC), the pink paper. When I got to the interview, a lady checked my documents, handed back the PCC, and said it was expired. I thought that couldn't be possible because I had the one from my last interview, which wasn't supposed to expire until the end of the year. I checked it and realized it was the first one I ever got. To this day, I can't explain where the unexpired one disappeared to.
In the actual interview, I wasn't asked many questions, just the nature of my wife's job, who lives with her (our daughter), and if there were any changes to my status like divorce, separation, or death. She said she needed to see the PCC and that I shouldn't worry, "those are easy to get." So, she gave me a 221g form to submit the PCC and my passport.
I thought I'd get home and find the unexpired PCC somewhere and feel like a total knucklehead, but I still can't find it. I had to apply for a new one and submitted it with my passport. My case status has been updated, likely to indicate they received the documents, but it still shows "Refused."
Has anyone had a recent experience with a similar timeline? Are there usually any more checks? I asked the interviewer if I would need another interview, and she said it wasn't likely.
