For me, MEP, BIL, PCC request all came at the same time. I believe that means eligibility passed, and you are not missing any other documents other than those they just requested.
Regarding request letter for Hong Kong Police Certificate (CNCC)
- Thread starter vindwarrior
- Start date
Thank you so much for this info! Didn't know we need to book appointment 30 days ahead of time....my AOR is August 25, waiting for IRCC request letter as well.
@aNDyaSs regarding the HKPF online booking system, should the representative fill in their own information to make appointment? No need to mention my info (applicant who is outside HK) at all, right? Thanks in advance!
Another related question about biometrics, did you mail the ink fingerprints or printed live scan fingerprints? Can I send multiple copies of fingerprints altogether in case any of them is not legible? Also, does fingerprint have to be taken by Police/Law Enforcement/Consulate? Is HKPF very strict on this? Can I have them taken in a court? I heard some China mainlanders even use "Forensic Center of Public Security" to have their fingerprint taken and get their HK PCC, is that OK?

I suggest you call HK police, tell them your country of residency and ask exactly what kinds of fingerprints are valid from this country because HK police's requirements vary from country to country. For example, if you live in China, you'll have your fingerprint collected at a notary office and if you live in the US, FBI does the job.
It only means your medical and completeness passed if they send you a HK PCC request letter, eligibility check will happen at a much later stage.
thanks for your reply. because i was going to provide a missing passport stamp that i forgot to scan. I was so scared that the document would not be forwarded in time. (before the review starts) I hope this is just a minor issue ...sleepless nights
You better make a post in this forum asking for some expert opinion before sending that web form for your missing passport page.
Since you are already after AOR, proactively submitting any additional document will only create confusion for VO and delay processing time. In the worst case, some case agents who receive your web form might mistakenly think you miss an essential part of application documents and mark your case as incomplete then reject you.
Missing a passport page is not a deal breaker leading to application refusal, since some people lost their old passports and visa stamp pages, etc. Hear more opinions on how to handle this before trying to resolve it on your own.
By the way, my AOR is August 25 and I am waiting for my HK PCC request letter as well.
in fact i have already started a post and asking for opinion. i looked all over the forum but couldnt find a similar case

but i have already sent a webform for that. now i am so worried that it would cause confusion like you said.............. just a day before i also called IRCC and the agent told me to send an enquiry through webform for that..............

@aNDyaSs I have another quick question about how HKPF determines if the fingerprints sent by you are readable, scannable and acceptable? Will HKPF staff members live scan fingerprints submitted when you apply in person to check its quality? Otherwise how would applicants know if their fingerprints can be scanned and used by HKPF?
For examples, for US PCC from FBI, the quality standard of fingerprints is very high and FBI rejects any non-legible fingerprints.

RE HKPF's req. :
I'm in the same boat and would need the HK police cert. I'm currently residing in the US and all the PDs near me had their fingerprinting service closed until further notice. There are open 3rd party agencies but from what I read on HKPF's website, they will ONLY take the fingerprints from law enforcement / consulate.
I emailed them re that clause and they confirmed it can't be from any third party agency even with the PD's reference / accreditation / etc. So I can only hope our state eases the lockdown level soon.

Still thank you for your reply.
Another quick question, the HKPF website mentions
Do you know if I can ask a HK representative to leave my application in the drop-in box? Will this way still work? And will they still give receipt immediately if I use this method? I'm asking because that HKPF appointment system requires a 30 day in advance booking.
Hi EssT, could you please tell how did you order the courier service of Fedex from HK to Canada? Did you do everything online or call HK Fedex to arrange pickup? I got an email from HKPF that my CNCC is ready to courier, and they need waybill, is there any shipping label or barcode needed for pickup? Many thanks!!!
Are you applying from inside or outside HK? How long after application did you hear from HKPF that your CNCC is ready? Thx!
