Anyone from Tamil nadu got their PCC verified from local police station?
Hi., i have submitted my application to BLS on June 5th and eagerly waiting to see how passport-india is going to collaborate with TN police to provide PCC in one piece. Quite frankly, it will be a miracle if this goes through without any hiccough., given the pandemic situation.

For all those eagerly awaiting their PCC from India. Sharing my timeline:

23 April - Mailed PCC Documents via Purolator to BLS Brampton
24 April - Delivered to BLS Brampton
08 May - I was able to track the my file on the BLS website for the first time
10 May - Forwarded to Consulate General of India (CGI) Toronto
25 May - Received email notification from CGI that my request has been sent to the local police station in India for verification
26 May - 5 June - Followed up with local police station, district police station as well as send numerous email to CGI enquiring status. FYI, district police station first gave an alibi that it will be delayed as result of covid 19, said they didn't receive any request from CGI and then blamed on some server issue. Meanwhile CGI said they are awaiting a response from the local police station which could take three weeks after which it would my responsibility to follow up (SMH!). My family in India kept pursuing and following up with the district and local police station until a physical police verification was conducted. It helps to know someone at the PS, at least they will appreciate the urgency of the request.
5 June - Physical police verification in India, visited my home, took copy of passport, photo id etc.
8 June - PCC processed and sent back to BLS
9 June - PCC mailed by BLS to my address
10 June - Received PCC at my address


FYI, I had applied for two PCC's and I only received one. In addition to putting me through such inefficient and lengthy process they didn't have the basic common sense of processing two copies, despite of me having sent two applications and paid for both. I sent a follow up email to CGI as well called up BLS (not even sure what their purpose is other than cause delays in what is already an inefficient process), I hope they send the second one soon, because all they had to do was print a second copy for the jurisdiction I requested.
In my case the verification already done from last two weeks.and sent here..but no response from consulate still processing

Hi, I stayed in Bangalore from past 10 years before moving to Canada. My native is Hyderabad. All my address proof and documents are with Bangalore Address. Now, none of our family stays in that address. Can I apply PCC on the same Bangalore address and give any of my friend's number who stay nearby. If the police officer finds that no one stays here, is it going to be any problem? I know the present situation is new to everyone. Still, any suggestions are appreciated.

I think most of us are in the same situation. For me i have spoken to my house owner also asked my friend to visit police station tomorrow .. I can update what happened later. But each case is different.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree. Everyone's situation is different. Sometimes it depends on the Police who is dealing with your file.

Please suggest me
Yes we can never put LOE for PCC and it would have caused for rejection. But this pandemic changed lot of processes and even CIC aware of all these developments, I would suggest contact CIC before declining ITA.
