Police Clearance

Citizenship
1

My wife is planning to apply for citizenship, she is present in Canada now 3yrs continously but before she came to Canada she spent one year in Jordan as a refugee. Does she need to get a police clearance and/or non criminal certificate from Jordan?

Hi

  1. If she has resided for 6 months or more in another country in the 4 years prior to the date she signs her application, she will require a Police Certificate. So she will require a Jordanian police certificate. Note she requires both see: http://tinyurl.com/y9ahr8ko
