    India PCC from Toronto

    In a similar boat! Applied for PCC for myself on Dec 20th. On Jan 4, 2022, my status also updated to "Police Verification report is clear and PCC is available for issuance". No update after that. I would probably call CGI Vancouver if I don't see any update the next week.

    Indirect route from India

    I just checked this route via Abu Dhabi to Toronto. Naively speaking, isn't the ticket price insanely high, like 3-4 times the usual price? Perhaps that's expected cause of the covid.
