Yes, you must include all medical exam confirmation letters and police certificates for your application for permanent residence to be complete.
The online system will not let you submit an application before you upload these documents.
If you upload something else instead (for example, a blank document), we will reject the application after reviewing it and we will refund your fees.
## Exceptional cases
In rare cases, you may not be able to get a police certificate despite your best efforts. (For example, you applied in the first week after we invited you to apply, but it did not arrive within the 90-day timeframe).
If this happens, you need to upload, with your complete application:
* proof that you applied for a police certificate, and
a letter of explanation.
* Proof includes things like receipts that prove you submitted paperwork and any fees related to your request
* You must show that you made your best efforts to get all the documents you needed.
If you need a police certificate from a country where we must request it from them, upload a letter of explanation that explains this.
There is no guarantee we will accept a letter of explanation in place of any required document, including a police certificate.
We consider each application under Express Entry on its own merits.
If you did not submit a police certificate with your application, only proof that you applied for one, please do not send the police certificate when you get it. Only send it to us once we ask you to through your account.
We will send you new instructions on how to submit them.

Most work terms run at least 15 weeks, or four months. They can be no shorter than 13 weeks. Some master’s students, as well as some science and engineering students, are available for 8 or 12 months’ work terms.
All jobs are reviewed by a CO-OP Program Coordinator, and only those providing students with work experience related to their professional development are approved. Administrative activities involved in a job should be less than 10% of the entire workload.
When you first contact SSC, you are assigned one of our Program Coordinators, depending on your discipline of interest. This person is your main contact in our office. As you move through the recruitment process, you also work with a representative from CO-OP Administrative Services, who assists with job posting and interview scheduling.
Internships offer usually one discipline-specific, supervised, structured paid or unpaid, and for academic credit work experience or practice placement.
Work Experience intersperses one or two work terms (typically full-time) into an academic program, where work terms provide experience in a workplace setting related to the student’s field of study and/or career goals.
Community Service Learning (CSL) integrates meaningful community service with classroom instruction and critical reflection to enrich the learning experience and strengthen communities. In practice, students work in partnership with a community-based organization to apply their disciplinary knowledge to a challenge identified by the community.
Field Placement provides students with an intensive part-time/short term intensive hands-on practical experience in a setting relevant to their subject of study. Field placements may not require supervision of a registered or licensed professional and the completed work experience hours are not required for professional certification. Field placements account for work-integrated educational experiences not encompassed by other forms, such as co-op, clinic, practicum, and internship.
