Police Clearance Certificate

[arun_cic]

Hi ,
I recently got married and I live in Bangalore and my wife and I do not have any address proof here. So for the PCC for Express entry can we do it from our respective native cities( We both are from different city). please advice if that would be valid. Thanks

Hi Arun,

How long are you staying in Bangalore ??

If you stay more than 6 months in the location in Bangalore , you may need to get PCC from Bangalore . ( Under that Police station team will verify your stay).

For address proof , you need to open an bank account for both and show some transactions and that will suffice for PCC to show the address in Bangalore.. HR letter( original will work to open bank account) , for PCC , RPO team will not accept Citi bank address proof.

The catch is account should be opened before 6 months to show as address proof for PCC in RPO.

They rejected our requests when we went along with Citi bank address proof and then we need to open in another Bank ( nationalized bank in India) for address proof.

This was our experience from Bangalore for PCC..

Baiju

Yes, you can get it done from your hometown. PCC from any PSK in India is valid.

Yes providing address proofs for temporary addresses can get very difficult. Hence, there's an option of getting it done from permanent address/passport address.

Hi Baiju ,

Thanks a lot for your response, can me and my wife get it done from our respective native home town as we do not have a bank account opened here and ITA is valid only for 90 days . So six months for me is not possible anyway. Please suggest

Yes, me and my husband were in the same situation. We have different addresses on our passports. We are both from different cities and live in a third city. We got pcc done from our respective native place.

Thanks !! So PCC from different address and marriage certificate is good enough to Submit the E apr right?

Yup

 

[arun_cic]

Yup

ok thanks

 

[prpurohit]

ok thanks

I would recommend both of you to update spouse name on your respective passports. Unless you do that your status on passport would be single and PCC also gets issued with a single status because of that. It only takes 3-4 days to update spouse's name and this can also be done from respective native place.

I believe that should work...since passport address is from your hometown...getting from ur native RPO will work (where passport is taken).

That's not necessary.

I was staying in Toronto from July-2013 till Sep-2015 and my family from Nov-2013 till Mar-2015. I got my Passport renewed with my old address (to avoid Police Verification) in India although I moved to new address in Chennai. my aadhar card, ration card is based on new address but my passport will have old address in Chennai. I have couple of questions.
1) I was staying in 3 houses @toronto during my stay. Do I have to get PCC for my stay in Toronto. How do I get it?
2) How to get PCC for my stay in Chennai? If my apply for PCC at PSK,Chennai , what address should I quote. Old address in Chennai or new address in Chennai. My mother is staying in my old address?
3) PCC is required for only adults or for all members of the family. I have 2 sons (16 years and 8 years old.
4) How much normally takes for PCC? Can we initiate PCC before we get the ITA? How long the PCC is valid

Yeah some say it's not necessary while some say they were denied PCC and asked to get passport updated with spouse's name. So we cant say, I suppose it depends from PSK to PSK or officer to officer. To avoid being denied I got mine updated.
