Australia PCC processing time - only 58 days till ITA expires

[mark56]

I received ITA 32 days back, and CIC website shows only 58 days left.
I have not applied for Australia PCC yet and am freaking out now.

Any idea if I can get Australia PCC within next 40 days? I will get the PCC posted to India.
Can anyone share how much time it took for them to get the Australia PCC?

Mine took around 2 weeks from online submission to receiving it in the mail to an Australian address.

Just make sure that if you're from QLD or VIC, you need the extra Traffic History report. That's usually an instant thing but it can get lengthy if you're applying overseas.

Thx for your reply. Gives me some hope. I will be able to apply in next couple of days.

I lived in Sydney only - so am hoping I don't have to apply for the QLD / VIC documents.

How will CIC know that I never lived in QLD or VIC? I lived in Sydney in 2005-06 - so that's outside of the 10 year address history.
Do I add a statement in LOE stating that I never lived in QLD or VIC?

As long as you don't have any history (address history or travel of more than 6 months) in those states, you should be ok.

I wouldn't worry my man. It'll be fine. Australian PCC is usually pretty quick and things will be ok if there's nothing to report.
