Hi,
I am an Indian citizen and had applied for Canadian PR when I was a student in Australia. (02/17/03 - 06/30/04). Now I am no more a resident of Australia.
But on the 06/25/04 I received a letter exempting me from preliminary interview and asking for my medicals and police clearance and my present visa status in Australia.
Even after repeated mails to the high commission in Australia I haven´t been able to get a reply of what exactly I have to do as I am at present in Singapore on a social visit visa.
Could please advice on the action I need to take.
Please reply at the earliest
Regards
Pramodh

For Australia you getting the required information may not be as difficult as you might believe. I know that it is annoying having to provide something that you do not think is useful, but as they say they have the handle and you have the blade and the cut can be deep.
Be patient and just do as they ask.

Police Certificate (Australia-wide Criminal History)
A Police Certificate contains a certification that the person to whom it relates either has no ?disclosable? convictions or has a ?disclosable? conviction that is detailed in the Certificate. A ?disclosable? conviction is one that is recorded by the court and has not been rehabilitated or spent under the Criminal Law (Rehabilitation of Offenders) Act 1986 and, in the case of Commonwealth convictions, the Crimes Act 1914 (Commonwealth), and the disclosure of which to any person does not breach the Criminal Law (Rehabilitation of Offenders) Act 1986, Penalties and Sentences Act 1992, and the Juvenile Justice Act 1992.
There are two types of Police Certificates. While both Police Certificates include a search of the person?s name against the criminal history records held by police services Australia-wide, only one Police Certificate also includes a search of fingerprint records.
A Police Certificate based on an Australia-wide check of name only, is most often sought for employment purposes. A Police Certificate based on an Australia-wide check of name and fingerprints is most often sought by persons applying for a visa to work or reside in another country.
Persons who seek a Police Certificate can make application at any police station in Queensland. Persons who are normally resident of Queensland but are now living elsewhere can obtain an application form and information on identification requirements, current fee, and other issues relating to the application by contacting the Police Information Centre on:
07 3364 6854 (if calling from within Australia)
+61 7 3364 6854 (if calling from overseas)
Fee:
Police Certificate based on an Australia-wide check of name only: $38.20
Police Certificate based on an Australia-wide check of name and fingerprints: $135.10
