Did your status change to printed?

Anyone knows how long it takes to get PCC after,
Police verification report is clear. PCC is available for issuance.

Its been like this since 10 days I believe.

Do you have any update?

Indian PCC was pretty quick. timelines

July 4 - Posted to BLS via puralator
July 5 - Received by BLS
July 7 - Processing at Consulate
July 12 - PCC initiated
July 15 - PCC cleared
July 15 - PCC printed
July 16 - in transit
July 17 - PCC received and delivered

So total less than 2 weeks.

Some points to note - I have not been to India since 5 years. Passport renewed and issued at a country other than India. And my police station was Mumbai. I assume Mumbai/Maharashtra Police is very quick and efficient

did you send the original passport as well?

1 Aug: Police verification report is clear. PCC is available for issuance.

16 Aug: I visited CGI Toronto office and requested for PCC. They gave me a print out of PCC.

Hi All,

If we are visiting the Toronto BLS office in person, how do they send the passport back to your home? Do we also need to send a pre-paid return envelop?

It will come to you by courier services - Purolator

To go to CGI office do we have to take an appointment. What is the process. Mine is stuck as "Police verification report is clear. PCC is available for issuance" since 14th August. If we go in person do they give the PCC copy in hand

You can go during open hours in wednesday between 3-5 PM. No, they wont give you PCC in hand, but they will print it and probably you should see movement in next coming days. It happened in my case!!

Did you send original passport with your postal application? I am getting conflicting information on this forum and the query i submitted on cgitorronto samark portal

Hello, can anyone who has sent a postal application recently confirm if original indian passport is required with postal application? cgitoronto agent responds that original is needed but several people in this forum say that only copies are needed. Please help

No you don't have to submit your Originals.
If you are applying from Canada, They only require your self-attested copies of Passport, Work-Permit, PCC Application Form, Original Demand Draft, 2 original visa size photos, and PCC Checklist.

Hi Yes the Walk-in is available but you may have to spend the entire day there in waiting and you need to be atleast by 7 am so that when they open at 8am there's a chance that you will get your turn much later in the day

Applied for PCC on 1st August 2023... within 2 weeks the process of checking at India was over and now... My PCC tracking update on 'Passport Seva at Indian Embassies and Consulates' shows "Police Verification Report is clear. PCC is available for issuance" since 14th August'23... its going to be more than 10 working days... Not sure what to do now to make Consulate authorities to give a print and send it to BLS... Any experience sharing during this time line will be much appreciated
