Police Certificates

You may be required to provide police certificate(s).  

A police certificate is a statement declaring if an entrant has a criminal record or not. This certificate helps to confirm if there are any reasons a person may be inadmissible to Canada.

Any person 18 or older may need to acquire a police certificate, depending on the program they are applying for.
