Hi friends,

Which is the easiest way to get PCC in India.

is it through passport office or going to police Station directly.

Pls advise.

It is through PSK in two hours if address is same.

George,

First: I've asked you several times already. Please stop posting messages with huge fonts and colors. It's distracting. If what you are posting is really interesting, people will read even if it's in normal font.

Second: This info is already in the SS on the Avg Processing Time. There, it is correctly separated by VO because each VO is different. Total numbers make no sense.

Third: your numbers don't make any sense. If the Average is 388 days, that's almost 13 months. Since the program started 9 months ago... nobody would have a visa yet.

Some of the forum members are informing that they are asking for additional documents regarding employment from Visa Office. Though CIC issued PER having matched the duties and responsibilities with NOC, Visa Office is also matching the NOC with reference letter. Some forum members suggested that 70% matching of NOC is sufficient for job duties. Now visa office is stating about lead statement & also main duties. Is it mandatory to mention the lead statement in the reference letter?

plus one for the share "SoCalDude" | "cincikid" | "darklordkuma" you all.

SoCalDude is perfect what he said, cincikid please do browse some more forum/ppl/links that i gave...you will find a way.

Anyways was nice catch with you, why we nag here and pull this to no end, you will get it sooner or later. i know guys working in US/mexico with Canadian PP without any H1 thing.

Canadians don't have to get an H-1B. They could but they don't have to. They can use the TN visa (can potentially be renewed indefinitely; also there's no quota) to work in the US.

1. If one intends to get a Canadian passport with the intention to find a job outside of Canada, don't waste your time. As a Canadian citizen your odds of getting an offer from the US are very much the same as from e.g. India. Frankly, the odds of landing a job in the US that would be willing to sponsor you an H1B from outside of the country are not significantly different from zero. Again, my message stands, as a Canadian you are not eligible to work in the US or elsewhere else, unless you get a work visa.

2. I merely made an observation that it does not mean every Canadian gets at least $38,000 a year. This is a virtual amount though it correlates with the wealth of a society. By the way, Per Capita = Per Person (Capita is "head" in Latin).

cincikid - I'll have to slightly disagree with you on point 1. A canadian passport (which means you've become a citizen) makes you eligible to work in the USA on a TN visa which is a visa for Canadian professionals who have a valid job offer in the states. Most employers do not think twice before hiring a Canadian since they know the TN visa is so easy to obtain. Whereas obtaining an H1b is subject to quota and other requirements. The TN visa is indefinitely renewable and has no term limits unlike the H1b.

Agreed +1

You're right, I totally forgot about the TN visas for Canadians and Mexicans. While this is an advantage for Canadian citizens, it is still a bit of a hassle for the US employers to deal with all the legal issues associated with hiring a foreigner. Many, if not the most companies on this side of the border won't bother unless you have a US work authorization. Some large corporations i know of (P&G) explicitly state they won't hire foreigners.

cincikid - And I know of several large employers who will hire canadians on TN visa anytime of the year and do not sponsor H1B visas. It is a significant advantage for Canadian citizens who have the qualifications for an in-demand job in the states.

And while we are all on it, it would be great if people could think of the message their post carries prior to posting in on this thread while also trying to minimize the "visual noise" it creates. I am new here but this forum would benefit if we:
1. Did not put those distracting pictures every other page.
2. Used only standard black fonts. There is no need for bold, italics, and especially ALL CAPS. I understand people want to be more expressive, but think of yourselves as future Canadians--would a Canadian write it this way? Everything needs to be in moderation. If you used this formatting style on your CV you'd get zero interview invitations.
3. Did not post the same message more than once (at least, once a day). There's no need in repeating the message several times within a short period of time. It does not increase your odds of getting an answer but rather clogs the thread and annoys everyone.
4. Thought twice before posting "congrats" gazillion times to everyone who got an email from CIC this week. This post contains zero information and have zero value to everyone on this thread.
5. Did not use those "urgent" or "breaking news" headings. You are not CNN, for God's sake.
6. Thank you for your attention. Anything I might have missed?

No worries jeymz, here you go.


1. we received your application on XXXX date - means they have done initial check and your ECAS is alive (mostly), you have passed the first stage and would receive PER soon

2. we started processing your application on xxxx date - means your file is under review and you will get Medicals, PCC and RPRF request soon within couple of weeks.

3. Medicals have been received - means your meds are passed (including your dependents in the application) and your wait for PPR starts here.

4. decision has been made on your application etc etc.... - means your will get passport request in next few days

hope this helps.

God bless
