    I'm in exactly the same situation. I was there for a year on the iec and despite the fact that it states in the IEC FAQs that in this case you wont need one I've been asked to provide a Police Cert from Canada....

    The b***h of it is that the Canadian Police cert requires a full set of fingerprints to be sent in. If you can do this electronically (impossible from outside Canada) it takes 3 days BUT if you do it by sending in your prints that you got from a Garda or whoever it'll take up to 16 weeks. A bit of a problem if Mycic only give you a month...

    Anyone gotten any answers on this yet?

    Yeah it sounds crazy but that's what i'm planning to do at the moment too. Canadian affair airlines have a deal on at the moment , return flight London to Toronto for 358pounds sterling.

    Can't believe I'm going to fly there and back just to get a police clearance!!
