I have just realized the Canadian Police Certificate will not arrive before our interview in May 08, it should arrive around July 08. Is it likely that a visa place be held for us after May (as this is the month our case number is current)? or will our number go to the end of the queue?

I believe that u can still have the interview but the visa will not be issued until you present the Police certificate to the embassy.
police cerificate
i think that as soon as you recieved the congrat letter you should apply for police certificate, its mathematic cause listen , the rcmp clearance is valid for a year , and the loterie process takes a year too so in all cases you ll go to the interview with a valid police certificate ,
its not true that the rcmp clearance takes 3 months i recieved mine in 25 day , posted in montreal , but you can ask for a provencial clearance from the police station nearer where you were living and it tales 48 hours to have it , i don t know if you are now in canada
anyway , good luck

canadain police certificate
I had the experience of obtaining the police clearance certificate from Canada, I took me almost four months. The certificate has no expiry date so it is valid as long as it is for spefic period of time which you spent in Canada. If did not have ready during the time of interview so the lady gave me a sheet indicating that my case is still under consideration provided I bring the certificate within one year. I finally submitted the certificate but still waiting for adminstrative processing.
RCMP is the place to ask for police certificate.

I submitted mine without the RCMP certificate. It arrived a couple of weeks after the application. My interview letter didn't ask for it. I brought it with me, but the officer didn't ask for it either.

Sorry but i don't understand?? how long should the police certificate be valid for? I have not gotten my Second NL yet because my number is so high i don't expect my to be current till August or September. Is it okay if i can go for my police certificate now and keep it till my number becomes current or it will not be valid by then? I had also read that if you are doing CP and you lived in US for some time, you do not need the police clearance from there?? just confirming incase i got it wrong...
I think it depends on the country you are getting the police cert from, so I would recommend doing a bit of research on which ones you need, and how long they are valid for.
The instructions for Australia (where I live) says not to get police certs until instructed, but I am not sure if that is just Oz. I got a letter yesterday with instructions for which police certs we needed based on our application form, and they included an FBI fingerprinting form for Canadian certificate, which takes 120 days to process (according to the website http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/crimrec/finger2_e.htm#Application).
I don't think this answers all your questions but I can only answer from my experience...sorry.

I have a copy of the Canadian police certificate with me now, it does not show anywhere on it an expiry date. I think If you have lived in the past for some years and then moved out of Canada then this certificate will be valid forever. If you go back to Candada for more than six months then you need a new certificate covering that period of time. My advice to you is that you must have it by now. I hope I have answered your question.
