Hello everyone,
I have applied for permanent residency in Canada with the buffalo office. I have lived in both India and Malaysia prior to coming to Canada. The Indian hi-com says that they would provide police clearence certificates to Indian nationals only. This is where I am getting hooped. This means I will not be able to obtain police clearence for my stay in India since I am a Malaysian national. Does anyone know how I could convince CIC about my problem? Would a written letter work?
I have also sent a typed version of my english proficiency letter. Some of you suggested that this may not be acceptable. Please advice further in this regard.

Are you or did you at any time hold Indian citizenship? If yes; you can get a PIO card from Indian consulate and that is good enough proof (passport or PIO cards issued in last 6 months themselves are proof of clearance).
If you never held Indian citizenship; it may help to contact someone you know in India - i.e. where you lived to obtain the same from local police office.
However; it is always a good idea to write a letter of explanation about any problems obtaining any document and letting CIC know the appox. extra time you may need or any other document which will be a good substitute.
