PCC is not issued by any Indian Police Station but only at the headquarters of the State Capital under the authority of Commissioner of Police or Superintendent of Police.

Such Indian PCC's are acceptable by CIC.

PCC issued under the authority of CP / SP is acceptable by CIC.
In recent times, PSK's (Passport Seva Kendra in India) has been offering the service of issuing PCCs.

Yes, I am aware of PSK's issuing PCCs. I got my PCC issued from the SP. Just wanted to be sure.

If you have applied for the PCC in the same City where your passport was issued, it happens much quickly.

But in case your passport shows up a different address than the one where you have applied for a PCC, then it is a time consuming process.

Since you've applied for your PCC online, you must have received an appointment for a given date and time. Based on that, you can evaluate the time it would take. Please let me know once you check the same.

Appointment slots at PSK are only open for passport applications. PCC applications do not require any appointments.
Once after you submit application, you can just walk in.

But do remember, if your passport has a local address, you can get your PCC within no time. But if it has a different address than the city where you have applied for PCC, then it takes much longer.

Hi All

Sorry for my delay in updating the status..

I have applied PCC on 22 Oct at PSK, inquiry was done on 26 Oct and got SMS from PSK to collect it on 28 Oct, finally i have collected PCC from PSK today i.e 29 Oct. It was pretty simple to get the PCC from PSK which i did not expect it will happen so fast. hardly it takes 1 hour at PSK to apply for PCC. Let me know if you have any queries..

I am returning back to Canada on Nov 13, as soon as i reach i will complete the application and submit by end of month.
