It took me a full week for the fingerprint status to get updated. I'd recommend calling if it's not updated in a couple of days.

The 4-year period would be from Nov 20 2017 to Nov 20 2021. And Nov 20 2017 to April 2018 is less than 183 days, so you should not require the PCC.

Are you sure? They would have stayed for less than 180 days in a 4 year period, if you count backwards from today.

I called them on +1-416 307 2237, which is also listed at https://www.blsindia-canada.com/contactus.php

They told me on the phone that I need to attach a draft of $41.40 in the name of "BLS International Service Canada, Inc". You may want to call them and verify the same.

Is the "one-day" or any other quick service still available for the PCC? I need to travel in a couple of weeks and was wondering if I could get the PCC done before that.

I'm asking this on behalf of a friend: What if I have scored 7 in all sections except speaking, in which I have 6? The link at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=666&top=29 indicates that I'm unable to apply. However, the eligibility tool is not complaining, and even the...

I received my stamped passport and CoPR on the 4th of May. Many thanks to the several useful posts on this forum that helped me prepare the application, especially with complex topics such as getting PCCs from multiple countries. However, even though I received my visa a while ago, the status...

They accepted my card for payment when I went there in November 2016. They do basic checks which themselves don't take too long individually, but as Aniket mentions, the waiting period might take some time, so try to reach early. They did the following checks for me: chest X-ray, eye test...

My wife had a name change before marriage and this was updated in her passport under a page titled "Alterations and Observations". I uploaded this as well as other proofs regarding the legal name change (affidavit, translation) when submitting the application. However, I just received an email...

You can use Google Flights to compare ticket prices. Works better than several others I've tried.

So that they won't know what you've been looking for between multiple sessions. Ticketing websites are known to use this data to increase fares.

From what I know in general, the religious marriage certificate is NOT enough (I got to know this when applying for a visa for a couple of other countries). However, since you have a government attestation, it MAY work (especially since it worked for you for visa purposes in the past), but I...

Here's a sample marriage certificate: http://www.marriageregistration.co.in/sample-marriage-certificate.php Mine looks similar. As it mentions the date of solemnization, I think you should be fine and can accept the 8th March ITA.

I don't think that's the case. I registered my marriage four months after my religious marriage. You only have to pay a higher fee if you're late. The marriage certificate mentions two dates: when it was solemnized and when it was registered with the government.

Thanks, dan_and. Anyone else that can second that? Do I need to count backwards from the ITA date, or the submission date? Note that your age is counted till the ITA date, which is why I'm confused :(

Thank you Dan. After a bit of following-up, they ended up adding it in the reference letter itself. ;D

My employer is refusing to mention the work hours on my reference letter, saying that they can only include information that is present in their predefined template. I'm thinking of including my payslips, which mention that I'm a full-time employee. Would it be enough to include these? Or...

I'm having some difficulty getting my previous positions listed in my reference letter. I need to get approvals from all my previous managers for that. How important is this information? Is it OK if it's left out? The previous positions are very similar to my current one - it's just normal...

I shifted to my current address in December 2006, and received the ITA on 16th November 2016. Do I need to include my old address if I submit in January? The form does not seem to complain.
