PCC - Express Entry Rejected

[jaynraithatha]

I have 4 questions regarding my permanent residency application,

1) My application was rejected because PCC for New Zealand was earlier than when I left the New Zealand to come and work for Canada. I have not been asked to provide latest PCC for NZ, but got a direct rejection. shouldn't I been given a chance to generate new PCC for NZ? Can I dispute the rejection?

2) I am applying again for my permanent residency application, After leaving New Zealand, I spent 15 days in India and then Came to India. will I need a new PCC for India? My Last PCC of India is of date May 2018 and I have spent 15 day in Nov 2018 in India.

3) I am currently living in Canada on work permit, do I need a PCC for Canada for my Permanent Residency application?

4) As my current application has been rejected, I have been told in a message that I will get a refund. May I know the timeline of my refund as well as how much money I will get back?

To add here, you will also get a refund for your application fee since it has been rejected as incomplete.

PCC is one of the crucial documents for the PR process. PCC for countries already visited should be applied from outside that particular country. PCC for current country of residence is valid only for 6 months whereas for all other countries, it will be infinite time till you return to that country again. I don't think this decision can be challenged. Experienced folks can provide their inputs ...

Applications rejected as incomplete normally don’t get reopened specially when the error is clearly on part of the applicant.

Hi,

Following up on all your comments, the CIC website states this with regard to date of issue of PCC:
Date the certificate was issued
For the country where you currently live
The police certificate for the country where you currently live:

• must be issued no more than 6 months before the date you submit your application
• must not be expired

For any other country
For any other country, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row.

In this case, after applying for PCC from our home country, if we travel back for 1-2 months, we still need to have our PCCs renewed? I am a bit confused with this point because technically I do not stay for 6 months in a row. If any of you could help clarify this point, that'd be really nice. Thanks in advance!

Hi jaynraithatha,

I was wondering if you could tell me how long did it take them to reject your application as incomplete. I submitted my application two weeks ago and have not heard anything since. I am quite anxious because my common-law partner required a PCC from Vietnam. Since it was too long and complicated to get a new one, we decided to send the PCC she got 1 1/2 months before leaving Vietnam for good.

We took advantage of the fact that she left Vietnam for a holiday just before she got her PCC, so technically the PCC was issued after the last time she was in Vietnam for 6 months in a row. I am still not sure if they will let this pass on such a technicality...

This is the reason why I would like to know how long do they take to reject an application as incomplete.

Thanks!

Well, I managed to talk to a CIC agent yesterday and they mentioned that if the address history reflects home country address during a period after PCC was issued, then one needs to apply for PCC again. Hope this helps. Good luck with your application!

Hi, I had submitted my application in July 2018 from Malaysia and then in October 2018 I moved to India. I had submitted my Malaysian PCC during application submission in July and in October I moved to India.
Do I need to get fresh PCC from Malaysia?
Please advise

You need to update them about your address change and if they need a new PCC, they will ask. But since you shifted after submission, I would say you are good But, it would serve you well if you update about the address change as soon as possible. Hope this helps.
