Hello all,

I was talking to one of my friends and this question suddenly hit me hard. I would like to get your input regarding this. My PCC is dated Feb 13, 2013. I mailed my documents only April 18th and it will get delivered at CIO on Monday April 21st, 2013. I already know that you have to submit PCC which is not older than 3 months. As you might see my validity for PCC will end on May 13th 2013 I'm wondering whether they will return my application since it might actually get expired when they start looking into my docs at CIO? Also when they say "should not be older than date of receipt at CIO" (I read about this one of the threads from this forum) Does it mean the date when my application was delivered at CIO or the date when they look into my application to verify docs at CIO?

Kindly advice!

Thanks :)

The date when CIC receives your application is treated as the application received date. The app rec date is the reference date for evaluating your application, whether its your work experience, IELTS score card validity or PCC validity. This means that your PCC should be more than 3 months old with reference to the application date. Since your application received date is April 21, 2013, your PCC should have been issued on or after Jan 21, 2013..

@yahoo7 I sort of understand what your trying to say. But the real question is.. Since my PCC has been dated February 13th (According to your words dated after Jan 21st). It should be good right?
