Congratulations. YOu should get your PER soon, may be a week or two according to the current trends. Since you are from mexico city, you should get MR soon after that too. Why did it take 3 attempts to charge your card? May be your case will help others relax if you elaborate on that.

Okay, for once this needs to be made clear as I see that (some) people are misinformed about PCC validity and are spreading incorrect information. Unless PCC instruction for YOUR specific country says to wait for some particular milestone of the PR process, please do NOT wait post PER to get the PCC process started.

There is only a requirement of getting PCC issued within the 3 months of initial application submission, if one is submitting PCC along with the application right upfront. Post that stage there is no such 3 month condition, and a PCC can be obtained one day after the application submission and that is okay too. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR FASTER PROCESSING VISA OFFICES LIKE CPC-OTTAWA, NEW DELHI ETC. that process applicants and generally issue PR within 8 to 10 months. The only thing CIC states on PCC validity other than the above is that all PCCs are considered valid by CIC for 1 year, unless a shorter validity duration is mentioned on the PCC itself by the issuing authority. Normally, most PCCs don't mention validity periods (exception can occur though) but only have a date of issue for the PCC.

In essence, when a PCC is valid for 1 year from the date of issue, for folks from faster processing VOs there is no point in not initiating the PCC process right after Fee Charge or PER. I, in fact, initiated mine right after application submission in May 2014, and both my PCCs are issued in June 2014 itself though my PER came in August.

Police certificates Source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC.asp

Note: If you are including your police certificates with your application to the CIO, please ensure that your certificates were not issued more than three months earlier. Police certificates are generally valid for 12 months from the date they are issued. However, if a final decision is not made on your application before the expiry of your police certificate, the visa office may request that you provide a new one.

thanks dude for clarification... +1 to you. Hope everything goes good for all.

thank you for the quick answer....

It seems was a comunication problem. i had enough funds, i called the bank five times and spoke with different people. I also sent two emails complaining about it..... they just fix it.....but i was very concerned

ahhhh and the most importan thing to do; kneel and pray

Question: How do I get the case specific email address at the VO?

Background:
From the discussion in this thread, I thought that once you get the MR, the VO provides you with a way to contact them for case specific queries. I just got my MR from CPC-Ottawa, but the email does not mention contacting them for case specific inquiries.

Does anyone have a clue how to make a case specific inquiry to the VO?

@ Andy et al,

Though you guys may have sorted it out but I would refrain from claiming 22 points. Refer to the "CANADIAN equivalency summary" which states Bachelor's degree (four years). WES states the highest qualification which is BE in Andy's case and hence 21 points

There are numerous cases where WES states "CANADIAN equivalency summary" as : Degree A AND Degree B.. its only in those cases one can expect 22 points i.e. Two degrees or diploma

WES has their rationale for quoting "CANADIAN equivalency summary" as ECA is their forte and they are being paid for it. CIC has introduced ECA last year (and designated WES + other agencies) so that nobody else has to reinvent the wheel ! 8)

Men.. I was just about to get conviced myself that I get only 21 but seeing your,SSS1 & Oscar's post its giving me goosebumps that I may claim extra 1 point just to be on safer side of pass marks of 67 as you never know if they will grant full points for experience or deduct any.

I got WES report completed today & it shows as below.

CANADIAN equivalency summary : Bechelor's degree ( four years)

CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS
Canadian equivalency : secondary school diploma and diploma ( two years)
Canadian equivalency : Bachelor's degree (four years)


will this be considered as 2 degrees or 1 degree ( how many points for education i get ?)
I completed BE & Diploma in Engineering

AbdelAllah I too received my MR from CPC-Ottawa yesterday. I'm curious to know what you are looking for in the contents of the email.

I do not want to share my emails for privacy reasons. However I can say that I got two emails.

The first was from a DO NOT Reply address that had a PDF form that we need to take for the Medical. It had really no content other than telling you that it is an automated email and if you are unable to view the document please email here. By the way, the PDF had my details and an instruction page which is for most part given here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp


The second email was a bit more formal. It had my name, address, UCI etc. It said something like:
