EE Application deadline reduced back to 60 days
 

IRCC have reduced the amount of time for new candidates to submit their completed application from 90 days back to 60 as it was a couple of years ago.

From the IRCC website:

That really sucks because my husband's US police check took like 80 days to arrive so we managed to submit our application with only a few days to spare.

Agreed. I'd strongly advise anyone with a realistic chance of an ITA at the first attempt to apply for their police certificate ahead of time (although not too far ahead of time as they can only be a maximum of six months old for an EE application).

Can you not include proof you've applied for it, then upload the check as and when it arrives? (I don't know - I do know that's fine for IEC applications, which saved a lot of people when the the application time changed from 90 days to max of 30 days a few years back)

'It is possible that the FBI will take longer than 60 days to process a request for a police certificate. If you require an FBI police certificate, you must apply immediately upon receipt of your Invitation to Apply.'

I know if the past they have accepted uploading proof that it was applied for at the earliest possible opportunity and then for it is follow later.
