Police Certificate

[seagull64 0]

My fiance lives is Canada. She has been a Canadian citizen for 20 years.

However, she was born in Moldova and lived there for 18 years, and she also lived in Israel for 1 year.

Does she really still need a police cert from Moldova and Israel if she has been a Canadian citizen for 20 years?

I should note, she has been a Canadian citizen for the PAST 20 years.

If she has lived in all those contries after the age of 16 then she needs a police certificate from all three.

She needs to get police certificates from all countries she lived in for 6 months or more after turning 16 years old.

Well I know that you need a police cert for any country that youve lived in for 1 YEAR (not 6 months) or more since age 16, but I was just curious if the fact that she has been a Canadian citizen for 20 year was worth anything. Especially since she hasnt even been to either of those countries in tose 20 years.

In regards to the police certificates, it doesn't make a difference if she has been a resident for 20yrs or 6 months.. However her canadian residency does help her in the fact that she is filing from a low-risk fraud country.

It's 6 months for Canadians.
