Police certificate
A police certificate is a statement document that shows us that you don’t have a criminal record or, if you have one, a copy of your criminal record. They help us confirm if there are any reasons you may be inadmissible to Canada.
Police certificates are different in each country and territory. They may be called:
- police clearance certificates
- good conduct certificates
- judicial record extracts
- other names
If your certificate isn’t in English or French
In your immigration application, you need to include:
- a copy of the original police certificate
- a copy in English or French from a certified translator
