Hey guys happy to share that I received my PCC from India via BLS in less than a month. Thanks to my father and the helpful constables there to speed up the process. Here's my approx timeline:
14 July - Called BLS call center for Shipping Label (Had issues, on website and with other call agent, got it through other call agent still it was taking time for her to send me shipping label but got that eve itself)
15 July - Purolator was supposed to come & pick up my application package but no one came so visited the store and dropped it off there.
16 July - Delivered to BLS Center
(There was no tracking update either at PSK website or at BLS website for a while. Raised forms, called several times as well as sent emails to BLS support and Toronto and Brampton offices)
22 July - Could see tracking update on BLS website but my DoB was wrongly mentioned. Called to confirm and they said it won't have any impact on PCC.
24 July - Status on PSK website updated to "Police Verification initiated" but no email about the confirmation
26 July - My father received email of Police verification as I had provided his on my PSK application form
27 July - My father visited local police station for verification. Had told him to take my previous ids, marksheets, old passport etc. for verification. The clerk had sent it that day itself to head office.
30 July - My father visited head office to get an update. The clerk there said it would be processed by week's time and that they had received the report from the local office.
5 Aug - PSK website status updated to "PCC has been printed". Same day followed up with BLS via emails and escalation form about the tracking#. They responded saying that I would be updated once its dispatched.
6 Aug - Status changed from "Processing at Consulate" to "In transit from Consulate to BLS"
9 Aug - Raised another escalation form and sent email and visited Purolator store as there was no tracking# still. Later at evening it changed to "Ready for dispatch" and by night it was sent to Purolator.
10 Aug - Saw in morning and saw the tracking#. It had reached the Purolator facility here and was set to delivery. I didn't have buzzer code as I am paying rent to the leaseholder so waited for over an hour at lobby and over 35 mins. on phone. Finally saw the Purolator van and showed my ID and collected the package. Was nervous while opening the package of some last min. fuq ups but all good. Got my PCC finally
