I have already sent my PCC's but my friend said when your biometrics has been done then RCMP issue a PCC with file number and I also get PCC from BLS so want to send
RCMP fingerprint PCC has nothing to do with biometrics. Biometrics is mandatory. RCMP PCC, you may submit upon their request to you. However, your home country pcc is mandatory.

Which PCCs you did send with your application?

Did CIC request you to submit as ADR?
You should send your original scanned PCC through webform. Don’t submit it through courier to Case Processing centre until they ask you but through webform you can submit anytime. Pcc from BLS is also good to send as sometimes they don’t accept from local police stations.

Yuup so thats just for safe side want to send BLS PCC and I also get a new one from RCMP so I m sending both
As I told you don’t send it through courier until they ask you. You can always send through webform. Make sure you scan it and scan the original copy and then attach it in webform.

What if CIC passed your criminality? It means your PCCs are valid and they don't need it once it is passed?
Criminality and security are both different things . Sometimes if criminality is passed, they usually go through security screening and they still look if you don’t have any other conditions which make you admissible.

My friend passed his criminality and medical but the eligibility and security has not been started. His online account still shows that we are reviewing your eligibility requirements and we are processing your background check.

Background check (BGC) is a procedure to verify the criminal and/or security background of visa applicants to ensure they’re admissible to Canada. Background check is a generic term for criminality check, security screening and information sharing. There is a distinction between Police Clearance Certificate or certificates of non-criminal activity (used for Criminality check), which the applicant is required to obtain and Background check, in which the applicant for the most part is not actively involved.

Three federal Canadian agencies work together to do immigration and citizenship screenings:

  • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
  • Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
  • Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)
