Hi, can anyone please confirm if we can send documents via Fedex? If yes what is the process for getting documents back from BLS? I checked the Purolator details and they are asking for $95 (25 for pickup and 70 for return). I understand return is 70 because of 2 separate applications but still $95 is crazy from Toronto to Brampton!!!! Fedex is showing $15 for Delivery and I guess will be max $30 for return even if separate envelopes are returned.

You can use just 1 envelop to send for both applications. For return there is no choice, you have to pick-up whenever its ready or go for drop-off and pay for two different applications $70.

I got the reply from pcc by mail
Same copy and paste message I don’t whether they are working
Even i did mention application status is "PCC ready for issuance" for many days. But, I don't know if they have checked it or not and just replied with standard response.

Folks, who have been through this already -

For the past 3 days, my status on passportindia portal shows that PCC is available for issuance.
I had couriered my application to BLS and have not yet booked the purolator courier drop off through BLS.
Should I wait for the status on BLS website to change to "Ready for pickup" before booking the drop off service? Or should I go ahead and book it right now when BLS shows "processing at consulate general"?
Did the status change?

Hi All, I wanted to give an update on my PCC applications in case anyone finds it helpful. I have two applications (I and Wife) and they are both following different timelines even though they were submitted on the same day.

I have two applications for PCC.
Application 1 - Wife's - Needs to go to Borivali PS, Mumbai
23th April - Application delivered to BLS by purolator
7th May Status available on BLS. - Friday
10th May- Monday Status on PSK/Embassy website changed to 'Fees and documents received and is under process'
12th May - Wednesday- PCC sent to Indian Police Station.
18th May - I realize that i selected the Wrong Police station on application. (Borivali - Incorrect PS)
19th May- My wife's parents go to Borivali station and ask them to route it to the correct Police station. (Done on the spot by a mouse click)
20th May- My wife's parents receive a call to come to the 'correct' police station and submit documents. (All Passports(active and expired), PAN, Adhar)
27th May - CGI/PSK website showed status as ' PCC is Clear and ready for issuance'
29th May - PCC is Printed
30th May - On BLS- In transit from CGI to BLS Bramptom
31st May - Ready for Dispatch
31st May - Purolator Airway Bill available at BLS application tracking
1st June (10: AAM) - Delivered by Purolator express.

Application 2- Mine (Needs to Go to Hinjewadi PS, Pune)

7th May Status available on BLS. - Friday
10th May- Monday Status on PSK/Embassy website changed to 'Fees and documents received and is under process'
05/12.. Same status as Monday
05/14 - Status Changed to Under Process in Consulate.
05/21-- PCC Inititated. Email receive from passport admin mailbox.
05/23 - Status changed back to "Under Process and Review in Consulate
05/31- Got a personal email from an officer at Wakad Police station Pune asking to call for PCC

I will call him tonight and see what is the next process or step. OPne thing to note is that i had given my father's phone number on the application, but he did not receive any call or text contrary to my wife's case where her parents received a text as soon as the status changed to PCC has been initiated
Hopefully you get it figured out soon. Good luck

I have been waiting for PCC to be printed for almost a week now. I applied with bls toronto on 13th May 2021, my timeline:

13th May: walkin at bls Toronto
20th May: CAT file number generated.
24th May: Police verification initiated.
25th May: police verification completed and updated in system.
26th May: PCC is clear and ready for issuance.

No update after that. How long does it take for the next steps till I receive it through courier service?
If you don’t mind, may I ask what state police did your police verification?

Hello All, one doubt I have is about the purpose of PCC. I have selected Residence Permit. Is that correct or should I select Immigration other than Citizenship? Google is showing mixed reviews for both. What you all have selected?
