Got 221g in IR5 visa interview at Montreal, for incorrect format of Canadian Police Certificate

[jamburger 5]

My parents immigrant visa application was denied during the visa interview in Montreal. They received 221g to submit correct format of Canadian Police Certificate.

 

1) For the interview, my parents took Canadian Police Certificate that said "Type of Criminal Record Check for Personal Use: Visa-Border Crossing, Foreign Travel, Work document". This document was rejected.

2) They obtained police certificate again by following the guidelines given by the visa officer. However, we aren't sure if we got the right format now. Given that risk/consequence of submitting incorrect format document again is high, reaching out to this community to confirm if we have the right format of Canadian police certificate now.

 

Please take a look at the attached latest police certificate and share your thoughts.

 

Thanks

This is exactly how mine looked and it was accepted.

The "visa" option is for people working, not immigrating.  It's extremely confusing and unless a knowledgeable finger printer was working with your parents, it's a commonly made mistake.  I had an RFE for the same thing because I had asked the finger printer whether the "visa" option was the correct one - I didn't believe it was and they were new - the promised to ask their supervisor and didn't and, of course, it lead to a RFE and a delay.  

 

So, new one looks good and don't beat yourselves up for a less than transparent PRC!  Good luck!

Did you send the documents? If you did, was the visa issued?

I sent the documents, delivered on Feb 15th. No update so far.

My husband's PCC submitted with passport on Feb 8. No updates either.

Parents received their passports with visas today. The format of PCC worked.
