File rejected for PCC

[andy108]

This is very odd refusal.

If he indeed lived in a single country.

The case may, however, be that he lived in another country - before he turned 26 - and he did not provide PCC for that country for period from 18 y.o. to 26 y.o, but then provided one for period between he was 26 - 38.

Nowhere it mentioned that they rely on address I don't know what made you imagine so . All they want to look at is if an individuals criminal record is clean since the age of 18 . All he needs to do is to get a single PCC clearing him without mentioning any timeline in it.

That is true. However, in asking for applicant's addresses, CIC asks only for the past 10 years, if the participant is more than 28 years old. I would imagine that in determining whether Police Certificates are required, CIC officers rely on the address information supplied.

His passport adress is same as adress mentioned in pcc.
N is the address mentioned passport is permanent one or the current where he is staying ??

Hi SahiSH

His passport address, current address and permanent address is same.

You are right – they did not specifically say so, which is why I used the word 'imagined'. But it was a logical deduction:

Suppose I am 35 years old.
From 18 yo to 25 yo, I lived in Country A.
From 25 yo to now, I have been living in Country B.

In my PR application, I only listed Country B addresses, because they only asked for addresses in the past 10 years.

Suppose the Police Certificate I obtained from Country B does not come with date restrictions – so it's all good.

Then, how would CIC know whether I had any criminal history in Country A (which I lived in for 7 years after turning 18)?

Wince this issue keeps coming up in the forum, i am getting the sense that it is related to the fact that some countries appear to put a time period on their PCC.

When I got my PCc from my home country it was not for a specific time period.

It seems that no matter if it covers ten or more years, sometimes people have issues when it is a PCC that is limited to a certain amount of time.

Hi,

In my PCC, there is no mention about the time period that PCC is for, just stated that there is no conviction record. Is that still ok?

I had almost the same case when my file was rejected in May. My wife after marriage moved to my address and I got a PCC made based on my address. CIC rejected my file giving the reason that I haven't submitted a PCC that relates to my wife's address before marriage.

Nothing you can do about it. Wait for another ITA. I have 473 points and I got ITA in the last week of April round. After my file got rejected, the scores haven't come down to 473 again. Tough luck!!!

What is a police certificate?
A police certificate is a copy of your criminal record or a statement that you do not have a criminal record. Police certificates are different in each country and territory. They may be called:

police clearance certificates,
good conduct certificates,
judicial record extracts or
other names.


Who needs a police certificate?
In general, you and all the people in your family who are 18 or older need to get a police certificate. You must get one from each country or territory where you have spent six or more months since the age of 18. For example:

if you visited, worked or lived in a country for two months, left for a few years, then returned for four months, that counts as spending six months there. In this case, you would need a certificate.
For the country you currently live in, the police certificate must be issued no more than six months before you apply.

For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in that country.

If your certificate is in a language other than English or French, send it when you apply, along with the original copy of a translation done by a certified translator.



IT DOESN'T SAY ANYWHERE THAT YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR LAST 10 YEARS, SIMPLY PCC FROM EVERY COUNTRY WHERE YOU HAVE RESIDED AFTER 18 YRS OF AGE.

I have a question regarding PCC, I had my OJT in Singapore from Apr 12- Oct 11 2007. I only have a certificate from the agency who deployed us there that indicates the duration, I can't remember anymore the exact dates when we were there. Based on the certificate, we stayed for 5 months and 29 days, barely 6 dos. Do you think I should still get a PCC? I believe SG has a different arrangement that requires a letter from the CIC, shall I consider it 6mos? or just declare the dates and wait for CIC to request for PCC? Please advise. I am gathering docs for submission of application after I received an ITA last Sept 21. Thank you in advance.

I am confused. PCC in India(One from PSK) is not bound to Location or time frame right.

Why the rejection.
Which PCC you have provided that led to rejection?

I understand that Delhi PCC mentions residency dates and is only issued for a current address- verified by a field enquiry. It is an automated system and the format of the certificate cannot be changed. A different address would need a separate PCC through such a system. However since they've moved their entire system online- it's not possible to get a PCC for an older address, especially if it's in a different part of the state. India's embracing technology don't you know.

Don't get the Delhi PCC. Get the PSK PCC. Those are the ones that are eligible for EE, since they are neither time nor location bound.

 

[IMTS]

When I got my PCc from my home country it was not for a specific time period.

PCC's in my country are they same. All they say is that you don't have a criminal record

Both options are valid as per CIC's website. I am suggesting that this is what the OP may have experienced.
