Canadian Citizen - Police Certification from Multiple countries

[CnL 0]

Hi!

I was born in Bahrain, lived in Qatar and India (all countries for more than 1 year) and then moved to Canada and became a Canadian Citizen.

My K1 Application was approved (Vermont Service Centre) and my case file has been sent to the Consulate in Montreal. I could be hoping against hope, but I'm wondering based on the following item from the Checklist, whether I need to provide certifications from all the countries that I've lived in or just Canada? (I'm pretty sure that Canada required a clear criminal record in order to become a Citizen, but I'm not sure if that matters.)

"Police certificates from each country in which the applicant has resided for one year or longer. The

certificate(s) must be issued within one year of the date of the visa appointment. NOTE: An applicant

must present a police certificate from his/her country of current residence and country of nationality, if

residence in such country exceeds 6 months"

If I do need to provide police certification from Bahrain, Qatar, and India and Canada - who do I contact??! And will I be able to get the required documents before my interview??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know. It's amazing the number of foreign fiances(ees) that are being provided no guidance by their USC petitioner!

You should have known about this requirement even before the K-1 petition was filed.

Get moving.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
