Application got rejected!

[vgautam]

My express entry application just got rejected. The reason was that i did not submit the PCC for my stay in US.
i stayed in US for 182 days but the guide says 6 months or more so i was confused because technically 6 months would be 182.5 days.

What can i do next? Anyone with similar experience?

6 X 30 = 180.

Six months is 180 days. Also, CIC often asks people for PCCs when they are close to the six month limit. People with 5 months and more can be asked - though of course their applications are not rejected if they don't submit since they are following the rules, and not everyone is asked.

It's generally a good idea to get a PCC if you stayed in a country for more than five months, and absolutely necessary if you stayed in a country for 180 days or more.

In your case, you are clearly past the six month limit and absolutely had to submit the PCC.

There's nothing you can do besides reentering the pool and waiting to be invited again. In the meanwhile, make sure you apply to the FBI for your PCC.

I stayed in the uk for 185 days and it wasn't contentiously.
However, I decided to apply for PCC and successfully got my PPR email.

Question with regards of PCC :
I stayed in KSA until I was 19 then I moved to canada by 19.
Do I need to apply for PC from KSA ?

I'd say you are better off submitting that than worrying if you haven't. And come to think of it, I think you will need to anyway because you have stayed there after you turned 18.

Thanks. Also do I need to apply for PC in canada ?

Sorry to hear this but I think it is very legit to ask you for US PCC, as CIC wont buy your theory like 2 days to "6 months". The whole purpose is you stayed long enough for them to initiate background checks, that 2 days does not make any difference.

Sorry to hear that! The best course of action is to re enter the Express Entry pool with all the required documentation. (FBI PCC). All the best!

One of my friend has a similar issue and rejected the application.Once he applied FBI , he got PR in 45-50 days while for others it took 80 days.

you can get FBI PCC with Fingerprint services and he got in 2 days

I had similar issue as yours and our application got rejected in just 6 days after AOR. Though I had submitted PCC from that country, but the period was wrong and clearance was missing for around 9 months. We got the new PCC and faxed + emailed our new PCC with explanation letter to CPC Ottawa. Our application was reopened after 1 month of time. So no need to go back to pool again, if you can get the PCC in few days time.

There are different requirements for Citizens and Non Citizens. Please check your category and decide if you need a PCC or not.
