I have applied for my PCC and should get it next week. I emailed IRCC to inquire why I was being requested for PCC as it wasn't part of the checklist on my application form. I got this response the next day:

Good day Client,

Further documentation is requested from the applicant, for review. The officer would like to make a final decision but is awaiting on the Police certificate.

Thank you

Kind regards

Its best not to argue with them and give them what they asked you for. Good luck, seems like its an approval.

Didn't argue with them. It normally takes 6 weeks to get a PCC here and I was only given 3 weeks to submit, so had to request an extension. Luckily, I was able to get an expedited service.

How long does it take for reapplication to get response.
Please will they start the whole process again? Or they will just look into the reason why they refused me?
Please I need your inputs nd wish me luck on my second attempt.
