Original Forms to CIC (Ref PNP) and PCC.

[gn53914]

Dear All,

I have 2 questions regarding initiating a CIC application post PNP nomination:

(a.) Do we need to send the same original CIC forms (like Generic application IMM0008, IMM5669 etc.) which we used to apply for PNP (AINP in my case) as copies. Can we again redo these forms as new/fresh after we receive the nomination ? Just wondering if the bar code on IMM0008 (copy) with PNP is future referenced to CIC at some point of time.

(b.) For PCC: If not included with initial application to CIC, when are we generally requested by them to do so ? Do we need to send this to assigned VO? At what point of time do we know where our VO is ? Is it a good idea to send the PCC once our VO is known along with the assigned File no. ?

In my case I need to obtain 3 PCC's so want to time them perfect as the initial validity holds good only for 3 months. Also I am listing down the steps involved after we apply to CIC, kindly review and correct them as required.

App to CIO -> Card/Draft en-cashed -> AOR CIO -> AOR - 2 (VO) -> Additional documents -> Med request -> PPR ->PR

I hope this thread would give clear basic insights to starters like me on 2 frequent questions + application flow (related to AINP + CIC ). I appreciate your time to read and help me.

In Depth Answer for my ques (b.). Thanks to Sarayu!, Can someone please help with Ques (a.) ?

(a.) I believe the PCC's if not submitted with initial application to CIO should go to respective VO office ? I have PNP nomination from AINP and planning to submit my application to CIO this month without PCC's. When will I come to know which VO is processing my case ?

Yes, if you can not submit your PCC's along with your application to CIO, they will ask you to send them directly to your VO at later stages. I believe your AINP Nomination should show your VO, because mine shows as CPP Ottawa. And we don't know when exactly you need to submit the PCC's to VO. I have got PCC's from three different countries within 20 days and I have included them to my application when I sne tmy application to CIO. I don't think it takes max more than a month to get all the PCC's in your case as well.

I suggest you, just inquire the process how to get the PCC's from the countries where you lived and be ready with the application and fees process and all. Once VO requests you to submit the PCC's, you just apply immediately so that you can save some time.

(b.) Do we wait for VO to request PCC ? At what stage do they request ?

Yes, we have to wait until VO asks for the PCC's. Like I said, we can't tell when they are going to ask you. But most probably they might ask you when they start working on your criminal background.

(c.) I need to apply PCC from 3 countries, in case I need to wait for VO to request them what is the right time to apply ?

You have to wait until VO asks you to submit your PCC's. I Think you are aware that PCC's are valid only for one year.

Please excuse for some basic questions as I am not very sure on how things work after we submit to CIO. We get (1.) AOR from CIO --> (2.) AOR from VO ? --> (3.) Docoument request etc. Really confused with initial steps and when do they request additional docs.

Yes, this is the right sequence that you mentioned above. If CIO thinks that your application is NOT COMPLETE, they will simply return your application package to you. They will not process further or they will not request for any further documents. But if at later stages if VO need any further supporting documents, they will contact you.

Hi gn53914,

Please see my answer to your question (a) below red in color.

(a.) Do we need to send the same original CIC forms (like Generic application IMM0008, IMM5669 etc.) which we used to apply for PNP (AINP in my case) as copies. Can we again redo these forms as new/fresh after we receive the nomination ? Just wondering if the bar code on IMM0008 (copy) with PNP is future referenced to CIC at some point of time.

Answer: NO, you have to fill all the fresh applications again. You have to provide the updated information after you applied for AINP. I mean if you have any address change, employer change, family composition change etc etc.

Yes, CIO will have access to those bar codes and they will track our records.

NOTE: By chance if you VALIDATE the IMM0008 and then found anything to be updated or modified, just update the form and then revalidate the same (you don't have to fill a complete new form). Then it gives you the new bar codes. But make VERY SURE that you are taking prints out of modified form and then sign it and send. These are all very common mistakes a human can do.

Thanks,
Sarayu.
