No Indian PCC even after 8 weeks

[spring.bustle]

Hi All,

I've applied 6 weeks before - still no sign. I also contacted the police station at my hometown - they have not heard anything from embassy / passport office.

I also sent emails to embassy at Toronto - they don't respond at all. Nobody receives phone calls at embassy - is there an extension that I should dial? I'm greatly worried.

@Rajanna,

Can you tell me the phone numbers / email IDs to contact embassy?

2nd question - I've not been to India after coming to canada. Can I ask my dad to get my certificates from police station in India? Is that valid? Or is it mandatory that I should get it from embassy?

Thanks,
Spk

Sorry I was away,
1. Call between 3.00-4.00PM and give them the CANT Number on the receipt or goto CGI Toronto between 9-11.00AM
2. You can get it from India, but with some Amyamya...

Hi Rajanna,

I am in 7th week and waiting for my PCC. Actually I have my tickets booked for January 4th ...and I am so scared now ...I just had very heated argument with VFS folks ...but I think they cant do anything ...

Do you think if I go to Embassy, I should be able to get my passport atleast....I need them as I have to travel ...

Rajanna - How does one get the PCC from India? From the regional passport office?

Friends, below was the post on August 30, 2012, 02:14:06 pm from one of the applicants PCKUMAR.

"So I would suggest for future applicants, if you want to receive the PCC faster, apply for both Birth Certificate and PCC together from Indian consulate eventhough you already have a birth certificate. The amount($40 including $20 fees for VFS) you pay for only PCC through VFS is the same amount that you pay for both(PCC & Birth Certificate each $20) through Indian consulate. Hope this helps for people who are planning to apply for PCC in the future and wish to receive it quickly".

Did anyone else try this way?

I applied both PCC and BC together through VFS to Vancouver CGI and got it in 2 weeks. Even I did the same for my wife, she got both in 2 weeks.

I am having same issue

been 8 weeks no reply for any emails sent to consulate, local police have no idea what it means nor commissioner office has any clue and my travel plans are in limbo w/o passport.

Hi Gaurav,

Please go and talk to Consulate...and I am sure they will listen to you as your application has passed 6 weeks deadline. Tell them that you have to travel ....and you need the passport...
