Hi,

My prayers are with all applicants who are trying their best for better life and future. Your DD should have encashed as 15th June applicants have been started for CC payment. Any how wait for further one week before making any call to CIO.
I am 23rd June applicant so at least two weeks will be required for any progress.No tension yet!

Wish you all the best luck!

Hi sandr,

Nice thread you provided to clear up the IELTS validity issue. I have same

query regarding PCC validity.

The cic website in clearance regarding the POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE

says in INTRODUCTION
"If you want to immigrate to Canada, you and your dependants may have to

provide police certificates when you submit your application for permanent

residence. Visa offices may also request certificates from students and

temporary foreign workers."
which indicates, it is an issue to the Visa Office, i.e. Singapore, New

Delhi etc., not of CIO.

Again in "what is Police certificate" they say "They are issued by police

authorities or government departments and used by Citizenship and

Immigration Canada (CIC) to prevent individuals who pose a risk to

Canada’s security from entering the country."
which indicates it is an issue to the CIC.

Again regarding validity in "Who needs a police certificate" it says "The

certificate must have been issued no more than three months before you

submit your application."

Now My question is the validity is relates to the submission of first

application to CIO, sydney? or it is related to submission to the second

application upon receiving the 1st AOR?

Now, see, the matter is, since, in the first application to CIO does not

require any thing regarding PCC, the validity is not supposed to be

related to the submission of this application.
Furthermore, the collection and submission of PCC comes after receiving of

1st AOR. After receiving this letter, allong with all other documents, PCC

is one of the docs that is to be collected and submitted to the respective

Visa Office. So, "no more than three months before you submit your

application" means before you submit your application to Visa Office,

Singapore, in my case.

QUORAX, PMM, SANDR, ALIZIA, OLABISI, AND OTHER SENIORS PLEASE CORRECT ME

IF I AM WRONG.

As it is clearly mentioned on the website on EG7 Guide at Page 40 that Before submitting your application to the CIO, you should begin to gather your police certificates. And PCC should not be older than 03 months before you submit ur application to CIO."

This issue has already been discussed several times on the forum as well so please note that u dont need to get new PCC...

Example: U submitted inital application to CIO on 27 April and ur PCC were dated 19 April so u r absolutely fine. Basically In this case any PCC issued after 28 Jan (in ur example of 27th April application) will be fine.

Sadika u r right.... a lot more confusion now...just checked:

Old EG7 Guide:

You may begin to gather your police certificates before submitting your application to the CIO. Although you will not submit the police certificate to the CIO, you must be ready to submit them to a visa office if your application is recommended for further assessment at a Canadian visa office. When you submit the application to the visa office please ensure that your certificates were not issued more than three months before you submitted your application to the CIO.


New EG7 Guide:

Before submitting your application to the CIO, you should:
 begin to gather your police certificates, and
 research the estimated length of time required to obtain police certificates from all of the applicable jurisdictions.
Consult our website for specific and up-to-date information on how to obtain police certificates from any country.
Police certificates are valid for 12 months from the date they are issued. If your application is placed into processing, these certificates must be submitted before your application can be finalized. Failure to submit police certificates when requested to do so within a specified period of time may result in the refusal of your application.
Note: If a final decision is not made on your application before the expiry of your police certificate, the visa office may request that you provide a new one.
When you submit the police certificates to the visa office, ensure they have been issued in the last three months and no earlier. Certificates that are more than three months old on receipt will not be accepted.

A friend of mine applied under 1111 NOC, her application reached to CIO on 3 rd May and she has got her AOR on 25th August. Another case where applicant under 1111 NOC applied and her application reached CIO on 3rd May, DD encashed on 9th August hasnt yet got anything. Just sharing for ur information friends...
Thanks, pgt! I suppose it will arrive any day now. I was basing the timing on my June 2009 application, but she's missed my timeframes. I guess things are moving much slower now with the increase in applications. Good to know she's still on track!

Thanks a Lot Sadika.
This means, one can get the PCC issued not before 3 monts of 1st Application submitted to CIO.
Since its validity is of One year, if the respective Visa Office, starts processing and encounter the submitted PCC, and find that it is still valid, No Problem.
If not, they will request for new PCC with validity.
Now, since the new PCC may be issued even after several months of submission of applicaition to CIO, and in these cases after submission of application to Visa Offices, the confusion of issueance of PCC within 3 months of applition submission to CIO get cleared.
One can get and submit PCC, issued any time of submission of applications, but not before 3 months of the submission of 1st Application to CIO and which is supposed to be valid when the Visa Office encounters it while processing cases.

Qurax, PMM, Sandr, Tegnus, Alizia, Sadika, navali, and other seniors CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.

All you have to do is make sure your certificates were not issued more than three months before you submitted your application to the CIO. If by any chance CHC needs a new one, they will ask for one and give you time to get it, but will not hold it against you. Dont worry about it expiring.

As per the old guide EG7 this is correct, you understood right....

But as per new EG7 guide, its confusing as it has 3 different instructions. It says:

- Before submitting your application to the CIO, you should begin to gather your police certificates
- Police certificates are valid for 12 months from the date they are issued
- When you submit the police certificates to the visa office, ensure they have been issued in the last three months and no earlier

Hi alisa768,

Don't worry, call CIC @ 1-888-242‑2100 (if you are in Canada) or 16139444000 (if you are outside Canada) and inquire about your application progress. Also ask for your Client id so that you can check your status online. Hope this helps and wish you will hear some thing good soon. All the best.
