they didnt ask for my PCC. the actual date on my PCC was 21-01-2010. i guess they are okay with the old ones
Are you already in Canada? I read somewhere if you are already in Canada, they are fine with PCC's older than an year.
If you are outside Canada and they did not ask for PCC, that's a relief. Anyways, thanks for your response.

They are asking for updated police certificates if you are outside of Canada. In the US they are asking for updated FBI Clearances which take 8 to 10 weeks..

I would be interested to know how much time does it take to get the PPR after submitting the PCC.

Hi all, please add my details. I just was informed that I had been transfered to the NYC VO from BVO on Jan 10th. Oddly, I would never have known if I hadn't sent the BVO a job update via email the other day, to which I got this reply...

"On January 10, 2012 in order to expedite the processing of your application, your file has been sent to:

Canadian Consulate General

1251 Avenue of the Americas

Concourse Level

New York, New York 10020-1175

fax: 212-596-1791

e-mail: NewYork-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca

The Canadian Consulate General in New York will complete the analysis of your application and determine if a personal interview with a visa officer is required. Your file number remains the same.

The Canadian Consulate General in Buffalo no longer has your file. Therefore we cannot acknowledge or respond to future correspondence from you. Please do not submit any further documents or correspondence to this office. If IELTS or TEF test results are sent to us, they will be forwarded to the Canadian Consulate General in New York.

In the event of a change in your address, marital status or family composition, you must inform the office noted above. Do not use the CIC e-Cas on-line change of address system. Your new address will not be downloaded to your file in New York.

Do not request the status of your file within ninety (90) days of the date of this letter.

All future correspondence you receive will be from the office noted above.

Sincerely,

Immigration Section"


My ecas is still RBVO with no indication of transfer, but whatever, I'll take movement over gathering dust in Buffalo!

What can I expect as far as timeline?

My information is to the left, under my name.

Thanks!

I have been back in my home country for 18 months and have ben asked for new PCC along with medicals.

US2CN said:
Does anyone know if NYVO is asking for PCC again since PCC is valid for 1 year only. I was wondering if it helps requesting for new PCC even before VO asks to expedite the process.
How long is it taking for PP request after Medicals being delivered at Ottawa? Our tracker doesnt track the date Medicals were sent to Ottawa, tracking that will help.

Many congrats Sicko! One of the best moment ever, I bet..

It took them 9 days to mail your passport! Did they return it by regular mail or courier one? My passport reached VO on Jan 25, and I'm hoping to get it back by the end of Jan to change my status on school. Do you think it would work if I drop them a line asking to expedite it? I already provided prepaid Fedex envelop to minimize the mailing process.

Good luck with your landing..

Thanks you sir,

Still waiting for PPR and I'm quite sure that I will go "in person" as this is a matter of 4 passports :)

There is no movement at all in my case, but I'm ok with this wait as there is a lot to do before I move from here.
Meanwhile I've cleared CFA level 1 and now preparing for CFA level 2 so not is that hurry. Want to get some certifications before final move.

all the best to you buddy

You would need to submit 4 photos ( 35x45 mm) and PR visa authorization form (comes with the PPR request) along with your passport. Make sure your passport is valid for one year and has at least one blank page other than the last page.

My lawyer asked from me copy of our new passports to sent to Buffalo.That's my story.

You can not make mistake if you scan your son's passports and sent to New York.You have nothing to loose.

If you do not do that now you would do that later, however.

Do not listen your consultant whatever he/she says.If he/she is longer your lawyer his/her bill will be longer too. :eek:

You can do it by yourself.
