i have a question regarding PCC.
1. Can we do it from our home country?? while we are in Canada?
2. does the PCC from brampton which is BLS contains any stamp from Indian consulate in our passport??
3. can the PCC from home country work rather than waiting for BLS PCC?
Will appreciate all replies.

If you know someone in Toronto he can do it on your behalf, also while getting PCC you original passport is required so you might need to send you passport to India in that Case

BLS almost post same day and it should take 1-2 days

In Transit from Consulate General to BLS Centre: this is the status on my application. so, i will let you know hopefully in couple of days.

please read below the issues i came across, hope these might be helpful for someone in future.

i went for pcc for me and my wife:-

1) my passport binding came off while photo stating, and they asked me to fix it. can you believe that!! they asked me to fix the passport of my own.( not a good advise at first instance) but any how, looking at the urgency of the situtation, i toook the matter in my hands and the application was accepted.

2) my wife passport expiring in 6 months and in order to apply( any visa or PR application) it should have 6 months validity atleast. i couldn't find solution from anyone , so i went ahead with the PCC first, as soon as i receive the PCC i will have to go through the passport renewal process. now god forbidden, if the immigration asked me to submit the passport while, i have applied for renewal, i don't know what i will do in that instance. but hey !! thats what the fingers are for and, i have them crossed. so lets hope for the best !!!
 
just got my PCC today from CGI Toronto, it was bit of hassle. I picked the draft and photos from Canada post, it took an hour coz of heavy rush. I submitted the application at 12pm and received PCC around 4pm in the evening, this could be because of heavy rush and we had many applicants for PCC.

Make sure you have all the docs ready along with Photos and draft, reach as early as possible. BTW I did visit BLS Toronto before going to CGI, it was a nightmare, had waited for 4 hours with the token and they stopped accepting application. Go to CGI if possible and skip BLS unless you have no choice.

CGI provides emergency passport service too :)

so you can try passport renewal and apply for PCC same day. But emergency passport renewal is not provided in all cases and they might redirect you to BLS

QQ on PCC doc that needs to be uploaded.

I took the Coloured scan copy of PCC, Do I need to scan the endorsed stamp which is in the PP and merge it with PCC.
 
Hi everyone, I would like to share my experience at CGI for police clearance certificate. So i went there on Tuesday. I reached quit early around 8. If you driving then there is parking available on the back side of the building (underground). Canada Post opens at 8 am, If u don't have a bank draft with you then to avoid line up get their early. Office is located at 7th floor. Door opens around 9:15 am. I was the first person for PCC so i didnt had to wait much. I took everything with me all the form, photos, 3-4 copies of everything. They just took my Application for Police clearance form and didn't ever look at the Police clearance reference form. Officer looked at my permit and my passport then he asked me to go to next window to submit bank draft. She asked me to put one pic on Apcc Form. In 30 mins i got my PCC.
But I recommend to take everything with you.
I took Application for police clearance form and 3 copies of it.
Police clearance reference form 3copies with 3 photos on it
original passport and 3 copies
immigration permit and copies of it

Can some helpful soul confirm if the CGI issues PCC even for Passport issued in India? Somebody on page 1 of this thread suggested that it's possible only if the Passport was issued in Toronto. Please confirm this.
