Hi, I am In a process of applying for a spousal sponsorship. My spouse is in India right now, we have a traditional indian wedding before COVID.

We are having hard time getting out PCC because they said she doesn’t have my name on passport, now we are thinking of getting a PCC from the city where she was living before marriage, so my question is PCC from the local police station is valid ?And do we have to get from my city too since she is living with my parents after marriage??!

Yes, local police station PCC works.
Marital status in the PCC application should match with the passport. You can only put married in the PCC application (for PSK) if your spouse’s name is in the passport. There isn’t any issue at all if you apply declaring yourself as single for the PCC.

Just to add on, I had both the PCCs (from PSK and local police station) and neither of them had my marital status in it though I declared as married.

Hi There

i have the same problem - i got married but my parents dont know about it. And i dont want them to know as well :

My passport doent have my spouse name and our marriage is not registered in India as well - we had got married out side India.

How did you proceed with PCC - can we just say single ? Does BLS check as well - my spouse is on open spouse work permit in canada.
Will it create any problem with PR process / PCC ?

Any idea if the police ask about marriage / spouse as well when PCC goes for verification.

How did you go about it. Can u please advise. - really stressed cos of this.

If your status changes from Single to Married when submitting the request then the police will enquire about the marriage otherwise they won't. They will just simply verify your address.

As far as PR process goes, you will need to submit a government verified document of your marriage. PR process is separate from PCC so even if you don't mentioned married for PCC, it wouldn't be a problem but you need to prepare government verified documentation to prove your marriage else you will run into issues.

I have the marriage registered. But it wasnt registered in India. My spouse also got spouse work permit.

my question is can i mention as single on the PCC form - Will it create any issues.

my passport doesn't have spouse details

What if during verification, a family member of yours reveals you're married? Usually it's never an issue since they are only interested in verifying your address mentioned on the passport

Hello,

I am on my PR status. I am about to get married to my boyfriend at city hall(register marriage) and after that, I am sponsoring PR in Canada. But my parents and his parents don't know about our marriage and we don't want to inform them about this process. I saw you also have a similar situation. What happened to your spouse's PR? Did PCC get approved? any challenges?

Can you suggest me, please..

Replied to your DM

the PCC was approved the only thing when the police went to by wife address they did ask if she is married ! So it created a bit of an issue at her house

for me the police didn’t ask anything

generally for some reason they ask about marriage for girls and for guys they don’t
It’s stupid as it’s none of their business and PCC has nothing to do with marital status it’s also supposed to be for criminal check ! But that’s how India works !!!

No - you should not. Sometimes IRCC does check with the consulate and if that happens you are in for misrepresentation / ban for 10 years. So i will strongly suggest don't take this risk and mention your correct status.
You can have some cousin / friend to handle the police verification when it goes to your home. if thats not possible at all - better to come clean - your parents will anyway know about it one day so doesnt make much difference honestly




Thank you
