What are the requirements for sending the NVC the police certificate? Does my husband need to have his fingerprints taken or can it be a criminal record check stating that there is no criminal record?

He'd only need to get fingerprints done if he had previous arrests, charges, etc. If he has a clean record, then he just needs to get a police check done either at the RCMP, local police station, or agency. The police check has to check the CPIC or national database.

I was just wondering how soon can one go about obtaining the police certificate? My initial reaction is to start looking into this now, so that once our case is forwarded to the NVC, we'll be ready. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

It depends on what the expiration will be on your country's police certificate. For Canada, they're good for a year, so I got mine around the time of our predicted NOA2.
