Hi all, I Fed Ex'd my PCC to the US today, 6 March. Estimated by courier to be delivered by 8 March. Reading the forums, I realise I should have addressed the PCC to my aunts address in the US. Despite the FBI working within faster timelines - Id rather be cautious. I will wait for the...

Hello all! Appreciate a quick reply as ACRO customer service seems to be taking time! With the ACRO police cert they ask - All addresses in the last 10 years. I'm assuming this is inclusive home company plus UK addresses when I resided there for uni. Is this correct? Thanks all

Sorry to be annoying abt this guys but to CLARIFY one last time before I go down the rabbit hole applying to every PCC - I read on the forum here that PCC is only meant if you have lived PERMANENTLY in any country and worked / studied / received mail at that location etc for 6 months or more...

Ugh yes so I'm reading now. Thankfully a majority of my stays were in Western Australia. I must write to the Australian police and ask if I've only stayed a week 2 weeks in Queensland and 3/4 days in Victoria would I still be required to get the traffic checked?

Omg that's monumental then. I have to get 4 PCCs then if that's the case. - US - Australia - UK - Home Country Given time frame of waiting for security checks I believe we are able to inform CIC that PCC has been applied for but no update at time of submission of EE?

Thanks VishalG for responding and feedback. But that doesn't make sense to me - sorry are you saying if I stayed in the US 3 months in 2002 then 2 weeks in 2007 then 3 months in 2015 I ADD these durations up to = 6 months 2 weeks so I need to get a PCC from the FBI? I have a similar travel...

Haha, you are better than me then because if I didn't have my passports from the dinosaur age I can't remember what I did and what year! But it's understandable with the Schengen area. Still I agree to be upfront so they don't assume any lies. I've lived stayed studied visited the States /...

Argh, omg really?! Hmm I have all my passports but given the migration from stamping to epassports my entries are stamped but SOME of my exits are not! Or the ink has faded or is smeared. I think I will try to head to the immigration and border control dept and ask for a print out of movement...

Yeah I think I will open the account as it makes no difference with the countdown. I'll have a look and get back to you if I've more questions. Thanks again! Sure! Anytime I can help just let me know. We have a great community of ppl really helping each other out from all walks of life and...

Thanks doro_07 again so much!! I haven't clicked on accepting my ITA yet as I don't have all my documents in order and I have time. But with the initial submission of my EE, looking at the profile I cannot make changes to the work history. Are you saying once I accept the ITA I can then make...

Hi all, Thanks so much for being so helpful with your advice on the PC. I'd like to clarify something. 1. My understanding of obtaining a police certificate is that I would need to apply for one from the country I was in for more than 6 months CONTINUOUSLY i.e. 180 days with no departure or...

Thanks! I received a very quick reply from ACRO actually! Please see below. This being the case I'm just going to use my ex boss that has known me for 13 years. I did email my UK friend but she's a writer and my ex boss is a financial consultant so neither are on the list. I'm just going to...

Thanks doro_07 for yr thoughtful feedback. I've decided I will write 3 separate letters so the authorities can follow my career and when I was freelancing. Some consultancies I worked with have closed down but I have the contracts sent to me. I have a few payment invoices received as well as...

Hi all, Need some feedback on my queries below please. I am now backtracking and writing to my old companies asking for references - yes sloppy of me but who would think what you did 13 years ago would be relevant?! Anyways there have been 3 periods in my 13 year career history that I have...

Thanks for the feedback K Rahman! As I told TanakaM in my note I just found out about the endorser and given I cant use my professors, the admin staff at my residence - knew them only during my time at uni i.e. 1 year and havent kept in touch - AND I cant use family my UK based family - I have...

Haha thanks Tanaka - I just applied for my police cert locally and the wait times vary, some people get it in 8 days and some take up to a month or two. I just found out tho that I would need to provide an endorser for my UK cert and looking at the list - of course I could ask my professors or...

Congrats all. I got mine late last night Canada time. Points of 437. But given how sudden it all is - I expected this to take 6 to 8 months - am scrambling to complete all my documents in time for the 90 day window. Lets keep in close contact as we will all be in the same boat from here on end...

Thanks TanakaM - I figured Q1 was a must but wanted to be sure. Yes I saw the website thanks, ironically it may take LONGER for a police cert in my home country vs the UK. About Q2 - noted thanks. To clarify when you mean throughout the process.... Do you mean have the funds in the bank just...

Dont worry guys, I registered my application barely 1.5 months ago and got my ITA today at 437. So if you are this and above you'll get it.

Congrats to all and Surekha. Im still in SHOCK as I just submitted my application the day after I received my education assessment from CES on Jan 19th. Today I received the ITA with a CRS of 437. While I am happy I thought this would take at least 6 to 8 months so I am now scrambling for time...
