This is a regular situation at all police stations I guess. Unnecessarily they waste time for bribe. I faced similar situation and had to send my parents to the SP office.
India PCC from Toronto
- Thread starter amala1611
- Start date
Ridiculous, isn't it? The process is anyway cluttered with unnecessary steps and then we have police taking their own sweet time to hit a button on the system! A sad state of affairs.
Not 100% sure, but I think there is usually a note in PCC that states that it can only be used in Canada or whatever country you selected in the application.
My application status : Police Verification Report is clear.PCC is available for issuance.
BLS: Processing at Consulate General
Does anyone know, how long will it take from here?

It will change to "PCC has been printed" in couple of days. Then BLS would receive document from consulate and they will ship it to your address. Roughly takes a week's time after it is printed. I am waiting for it as well, will post here once I get it.
Yes there is a note you are right that's what i am asking because BLS uis not allowing me choose any other country rather than Canada but i need PCC for Australia so not really i will get that
Here is my process timelime. Hope it helps

Almost same timeline
3rd march: Clear police report & pcc available for issuance
Actually it is for PR purposes unfortunately, there is no option i believe as i have to submit the PCC as there is no alternative so far. No one allowing me to apply Indian PCC for Australia from Canada. I tried to contact and sent some emails so far no response and not really sure if CO will accept this PCC or not.
Here is my timeline:
21 Jan - PCC form filled on Passport Seva portal
26 Jan - Purolator document pick-up
30 Jan - Documents received by BLS
3 Feb - Tracking info visible on BLS website. Application sent to consulate.
11 Feb - Police Verification has been initiated and a request has been sent to Indian Embassy/Consulate. PCC needs to be collected from the Indian Embassy/Consulate where the applicant applied after a 'Clear' Police Verification Report is received at the Indian Embassy/Consulate.
At this point, application was sitting there at SP office in India without me knowing. Waited for 7-8 days but nobody contacted my family from the police station.
22 Feb - First follow up to the local police station. They said no application received at their end with those CAT numbers.
23 Feb - Raised a Sampark request to Toronto consulate. They responded the same day that application is sitting at SP office. Please contact them.
24 Feb - Sent family member to the SP office, and after a lot of hassle they forwarded the request to local police station.
27 Feb - PCC done at India Police station
28 Feb - PCC Verification report is clear. PCC is available for issuance.
1 Mar - PCC has peen printed.
2 Mar - In Transit from Consulate to BLS
2 Mar - BLS shipped the document to my address via Purolator
3 Mar - Purolator halted their service for the day due to our infamous "Snow Storms"
4 & 5 Mar - Sunny days but Purolator doesn't deliver on weekends even if it is express delivery and we are made to pay CAD100! Anyways, that's the rant for another day.
6 Mar - PCC finally delivered. Received it with watery eyes. What a mess to get a simple letter with one line on it!

Lessons learnt:
- Indian Police department is still inefficient as ever. So don't wait more than two days after you receive initiation email before sending someone to the local police station.
- Raise a Sampark request to ask about unusual delays if you are in Toronto jurisdiction. They are pretty responsive and usually responds the same day. No complaints on their end.
- Don't wait for ITA to do PCC. If you think you have enough points to need PCC in next 6 months, act proactively and get your PCC done when you still have time.
Have you explored submitting application through Australia VFS (Same as BLS Canada)…? If you have someone in Australia that can send docs on your behalf? I'm not sure it will work, but worth exploring. More info here - https://www.cgimelbourne.gov.in/listview/MzI,
Yes my brother is there he checked everything even i contact VFS but they said it is beyond their limitations i have to be in Australia in order to get it done my PCC via VFS global actually i know their process too as I was in Australia before.
