Hi,

I've applied for the Canada PR (spouse-sponsored) in June - the CIC received the application on July 19, 2013. I have received a confirmation correspondence from New Delhi Immigration office on September 18, 2013. I was asked to submit (1) landing fee (2) police clearance certificate and (3) passport.

The following is the note from the document:
* Submission of police clearance certificates for time spent in any country for a period of 6 months or more, if not already submitted.

In my application, I had submitted a Police Clearance certificate dated 16-Mar-2013.

Should I be getting a new certificate now that the submitted one is considerably outdated (I understand CIC considers anything older than 3 months as invalid document)?

Please advise.

Also, would like to know how long it would generally take for CIC to return my passport with visa (or ask me for an interview)?

Thanks,
Pradeep

If you already paid the landing fee and PCC then you just have to submit passport nothing much that's their standard format for request Passport

don't worry just post them passport..

they say so -- as security check takes a bit longer if one hv extensive travel history. Tho v have sent PCC's n all still they do cross check it -- this can b a reason. Not sure

Process can delays with many reasons not just a travel history...after reading all the post from I guess following can be major reasons:

1) Questionnaire form Sponsor and Spouse : This has to fill with appropriate information
2) Travel History : May cause but many here have multiple and long travel and running with appropriate time frame
3) STRIKE : this ruin many application
4) Visa Officer : it's depends on VO who is taking charge to process our file

Yes, thats the whole confusion. Since i did not receive the mail so i did not know about sending old passports. The lady over the phone also did not mention about it. But, thankyou and yes i should mail them asking about it. Most of the time they do not reply reply to the emails. Thats a problem again. Haha

Strike is over now.......

26 September 2013 - Canada’s Foreign Service Officers Reach Tentative Agreement with Federal Government
The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers is pleased to announce that a tentative agreement has been reached with the Treasury Board of Canada to end our six-month labour dispute.

“PAFSO is satisfied with this deal,” said PAFSO President Tim Edwards.“This agreement was reached through compromises on both sides,” continued Edwards. “We salute the spirit of constructive engagement which our employer brought to our latest discussions. This deal is a victory for free and fair bargaining in the federal public service.”

With the signing of this tentative agreement PAFSO has ordered an immediate suspension of all strike measures and work to rule. The agreement requires ratification by the PAFSO membership and approval by the full Treasury Board. PAFSO’s Executive Committee and Treasury Board president Tony Clement have agreed to recommend acceptance of the offer.

“We are pleased that the Government has recognized the tremendous value and dedication which Foreign Service Officers provide to Canadians and their elected representatives,” said Edwards. “It has been a hard-fought battle and I would like to salute the unity, resolve, and stamina of our members in securing a fair and equitable deal. We’re excited to get back to doing the work we love, promoting and protecting Canada’s values and interests abroad.”

The 1,350 Foreign Service Officers have been without a contract since July 1, 2011 and in a legal strike position since April 2, 2013. This agreement concludes the longest federal public service strike since the introduction of collective bargaining in 1967.
