Q1031. What is the process for submitting a Thai police background check for a Canadian PR application?
Answered by NYC Visa & Translation
For Canadian permanent residence, obtain the Thai police certificate specified by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), then submit it according to your application’s document instructions. Start with IRCC’s country-specific guidance for Thailand, because requirements can differ depending on whether you currently live in Thailand or abroad. Apply through the Royal Thai Police Police Clearance Service Center using the required identity, residence, and fingerprint documents. Check that your name and passport details match your Canadian application. If the certificate is not in English or French, follow IRCC’s current translation and supporting-document rules. Upload all required pages clearly, retain the original, and do not assume embassy legalization is required unless IRCC specifically requests it.
