Hey Guys -

So we received the request for Sched A and PCC yesterday. My wife was in the UK for one year, so got the PCC done for UK and India. In the correspondence CIC mentions the following:

"If the country where you current live, and the country where you have spent most of your adult life since the age of 18, is the same, you only need to submit the one police certificate at this time, unless you are specifically requested by this letter to submit a police certificate for an additional country."
"In your online account, the system generated text in the blue box where you upload your documents may advise you that you need to submit a police certificate for any country, region or territory where you lived for 6 months or more since you turned 18. Please disregard that text and follow the instructions in this letter instead. We’ll contact you if we need additional police certificates to process your application. However, if you already have police certificates for other countries, you can upload them now. It may reduce your processing time."

On the portal it has only one place to upload the PCC. I was hoping i could upload the UK PCC as well because we already have it and there is a possibility they may ask for it in the future.

Any advise/suggestions as to how we can upload the other one as well.

Merge the two pdfs into one if you wish to, that should work, but i think you can upload multiples, they give you that option in your account i believe.

Merging won't work because they ask for the issue date and the document number and other details when uploading.

And you do not get multiple upload options in the account ? If i recall i had the option to upload multiple files.

No don't see any .

There is just one upload button next to Schedule A request and one next to the PCC request. It just says Update information once the document is uploaded

I think I got all my answers in your signature

so what is that email? does that mean they have transferred the file?

By the looks of it yes it does seem like the next step is that they forward your file to the VO of the Principal applicant. Plus its also an acknowledgement that they have received your IMM5669. Its a good progress. Your PA should get an email in a few days to confirm that the Visa office has recievd the file and have stared working on it.

Just called CIC - the lady said that she doesn't see anything for a Medical request in our account. She told us to submit a technical inquiry. Not sure what's going on with the CIC websites anymore.
