No More Police Clearance: Canada Announces Changes for Students and Temporary Residency Visas

The Canadian government has announced that police clearance certificates will no longer be required for individuals entering the country as temporary residents, including those on study permits, due to their unreliability.

This announcement was made by Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, Marc Miller, during a session of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration on Monday.
