I and my family members have received a CoPR... my question is - Can I (Primary applicant) do landing alone and my dependents can do later say after 2-3 months (well before CoPR expiry).

Or me and my dependents have to do at the same time.

When must my accompanying dependents land Canada?

Accompanying dependents cannot land in Canada before the Principal Applicant has done so. The accompanying dependents may first land in Canada with the Principal Applicant or after the Principal Applicant, but in either case prior to the expiry date indicated on their Canada Immigration Visas.

Hi

With your COPR you should have received some instructions from CIC, it clearly states you can land separate from your dependants but you must land first.

Thx

Dear Bhopali,

I am applying for PR under PNP category. I saw your post regarding PCC from India and I'm under same situation that you had gone through.

I have my PCC obtained from India (local police station) and since I myself staying in Ontario so the PCC from local police station was handed to my father. Will that be acceptable?

I am confused with the information provided on the CIC website regarding how to obtain PCC; it says non-residents should contact India Consulate.

Please reply at hpskambo@gmail.com

Thank you in advance and Congratulations for you PR.

Best,

Harpreet

Local police station PCC might not work. You should get it from passport office in India or through Indian consulate in Canada.(I got mine from BLS Canada and my wife got it from India (Passport Seva Kendra) ).
