Hello,
I just received an e-mail from the CFO of BC regarding my PAL application status. As I had been working in Hong Kong for the past 5 years, a letter of good conduct from HK is to be provided before they can process my application.
The CFO suggests:
"As you have been working outside Canada for the past 5 years, we do require a letter of good conduct for that period.
I suggest contacting the nearest Notary Public Office and request assistance from them. We receive these certificates from Hong Kong quite frequently and I am sure they can assist you."
However, I have contacted 5 notary public offices today. None of them have experience with such service.
Currently HK police website posted: The issuance of Certificates of No Criminal Conviction (CNCC) is a charged service provided by the Hong Kong Police Force which is solely in connection with a person's application for various types of visa, such as visit, student or resident visa, or for adoption of children. Applications for the Certificate for any other purposes will not be accepted.
I hope someone with the same experience can shed me some light.
Thanks so much in advance.
Alan
