I am sorry to hear this. I am not sure how to proceed but i have couple of optionsDobas said:
2 things u can do....
1. Apply for a new PCC and raise a CSE .... submit ur PCC... which may help to re-open (I am not sure...)
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx
2. Get your refund, if any and apply a new EE
May I know, the date u got PCC and and the date u submitted tha application and also your home country
That's not how it works. It's your responsibility to provide all of the required documents when you apply. If you fail to do that, you can expect a refusal.Dobas said:
As the above posted suggested, you can obtain the missing PCC and try asking CIC to reopen your file. It's impossible for any of us to say if this will work or not.
Good luck.
Thank you for your suggestions all, I got my ITA in October and I applied in on November 4th and got my AOR same day, I passed medicals on November 16th and background check started same day November 16th, i am from Nigeria I attached my RCMP police clearance in Canada which I did recently and my Police certificate which I did in Nigeria before I left the Country three years ago. I will apply for a new PCC and raise a CSE and see how it goes. fingers crossed though. Hope it goes well for everyone. The darkest hour is the hour just before dawn. hang on peeps. Victory is near!!!
@ Dobas if you require a new police report from Nigeria, I can help you do that. You can collect it same day from the police office. I got mine on Monday after paying #9000. I can send you the form to to ur email and also give you the contact numbet of the police guy who did mine ownDobas said:
You can message me privately
I would be mindful of the means of sourcing your new PCC and would do anything to ensure I follow the procedures set by CIC/IRCC to avoid another rejection.Dobas said:
@ highty,
Publicizing a shortcut to the PCC procedure on a public domain as this may not help other future applicants from your country.
I seconde ibejiopad.
Dobas...please be mindful as PCC from Nigeria was 5k naira when I did mine few months ago.
Please contact someone you know at home to get the form from Alagbon police headquarters at Ikoyi Lagos....let the person scan it to you.
Fill it and do your finger prints and send it back through people going home for Christmas. Then get someone to process it at same Alagbon and scan it back to you immediately. The person can also courier it after scanning to you.
All the best.

@ Ibejiopad I have no bad intentions when I offered to give assistance and nor even solicit for cut. I got my own PCC on Monday at police headquarters on Alagbon, Ikoyi and that was exactly what I paid. So if you are thinking otherwise that's up to youtimmituyi said:
There is no tricks or hiding game, I think it's best for him to contact someone he knows who can get it for him

Well, this doesn't make sense. From CIC's perspective, police clearances do not "expire."Dobas said:
There are 2 different sets of rules:
- one set of rules for the country in which you are currently living (Canada - I assume that was also true at the time you applied), and no upfront PCC is required from Canada.
- a different set of rules for countries of previous residence - in your case, India - the rule is only that the PCC must have been issued AFTER you left the country. It does not expire.
"For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in that country."
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/infORmation/security/police-cert/intro.asp
So - was the problem that you obtained the India PCC before you left India?
If you obtained the India PCC after you moved to Canada, you should request a reconsideration, because they made an error...
This is really interesting! It seems police officer charges different price as there is no fixed price for the pcc! I paid over 15k naira for mine and got it same day! lol... So I really don't think the person suggesting was trying to get his cut! 9k compared to what I paid is way cheaper!timmituyi said:
