圣诞节暑假后刚事情就收到了同伴的好新闻 同伴三个月前硕士结业，不停在找工做呢。圣诞节前同伴收到面试通告，暑假后第一天举行网络面试 (virtual interview)呢。近来早上同伴信心满满地在电脑前面试，面试结尾后给我买电话说感受很好呢。不料这么快，今天下午同伴就收到了conditional offer，面试的公司发邮件乞求同伴尽快去做PRC呢。加拿大的处事效果很低的，从去当地警局申请PRC到拿到结局需要两到三周的时刻 (可是，警局供应有加急处事 rush service呢；加急处事固然要多付申请费了) 呢。那么，PRC指的是什么呢？
一最先的时刻，能够一定的是，此PRC非彼PRC (People's Republic of China). 这个PRC是Police Reference Check or Police Record Check的首字母缩略词，意义是无犯罪纪录证实，俗称 "良民证"呢。在加拿大，许多单元在雇新职员或者者招义工时乞求提交无犯罪纪录证实呢。
首字母缩略词的英语是acronym [ˈækrənɪm]，是组合每逐一位词的首字母组成新词或者是专著名词的形势呢。
a word formed from the first letters of the words that make up the name of sth
For example, ‘NATO’ is an acronym for ‘North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
