I believe PCCs are supposed to be submitted upfront now. It's part of the checklist.
****MAY 2019 Inland Spousal PR + OWP****
- Thread starter endian
- Start date
I have not submitted my wife's PCC as its still under process with our consulate. I included a letter stating that we will be submitting it at a later stage when we have it. In the letter I stated my wife's PCC application number which is under process at the consulate, and provided them with proof of payment and application status by screenshoting tracking page. Hopefully they consider it.
Couple of my friends who had done the same in the past advised me to do so and they never had any issues from CIC.
Can we apply for extension eventho we dont have the PR application number or AOR yet?
Yes I believe you can. We did the extension application before we even sent in our application. I've seen some posts that say it's much easier to get a visitor's extension approved before you submit your application. As opposed to getting it approved when the application has already been sent in.
Link to extend your stay as a visitor: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/extend-stay.html specifically from that page, you would probably want to apply for a visitor's visa from within Canada.

I sent mine which I got in January while in Russia. I live in Canada since February, so now I wonder how it s going to work out as most likely by the time they start reviewing my application my Russian PCC will be past 6 month (so technically invalid) and would they ask a new one from Russia or the Canadian one as I would have spent more than 6 month living in Canada by that time...
You'd want to include the Russian police certificate with the application if you're applying inland. They will request the certificates on your behalf for the Canadian ones. At least, that's what the new document checklist seems to say.
Yes, I sent an original Russian PCC+certified translation, just hope they wont ask me for a new one
As long as you didn't go back to Russia after getting the PCC (even tho is from January and you came here in February), there is no need for another one.

I was wondering the same thing. Indian PCC is also only valid for 6 months and I remember my lawyer telling me we'll be needing it later so don't worry about it right now. And now I see a lot of people already included theirs with the application.

I am now processing may application form and for IMM5669 education history how can i fill up my year attended school because i am undergaduate in College i only finish 6 month's how can i put 6months in my form hope u help me thank u
From what I understand, your last level of education is onging. So you can fill it as - From: date you started (6 months ago) - To:will become blank, check Ongoing box.
