India PCC issue

[poojakumar]

Hi, I've applied for the PCC through PSK but inadvertently entered the wrong Police Station. ( though that is the nearest one to my home). I requested the officials to correct it and send it to the right police station and awaiting verification by the officials from the correct police station. in the meanwhile. the status changed to "
PCC application is under review at Regional Passport Office."

Should I be worried?

Hello All,

Need some information regarding the Police Clearance Certificate, hope if anybody could help.

I am an Overseas Citizen of India, with Canadian Citizenship acquired in Oct.2016.
I left India on October 4, 2011 when I got my Canadian PR.
So basically, I will be needing PCC from the period when I was residing there with Indian Passport (period before Oct.2011).

I initially started looking into it and found out that I might get it from BLS international, but when I read a bit deeper, I figured out that there is an exception as follows (from an excerpt of PCC checklist)

"Former Indians who have obtained foreign citizenship cannot apply for a Police Clearance Certificate based on their past stay in India, when they held Indian passports"

So just wondering if I could try it from SSP office (Punjab) in India ?

Kindly guide me the procedure to be adopted for getting PCC (at the earliest), for the period when I was residing in India, before immigrating to Canada.

Thanks, in advance.
