Suggestions:

1) If you´re applying for Canada Federal Skilled Worker Program choose Permanent Resident: Skilled Worker, all other programs choose Permanent Resident: Other

2) Case Processing Centre: Sydney, Nova Scotia, was when paper-based applications the first office that you sent your papers too, so choose this one.

Re: PCC from NewZealand in EE CEC

1) I wrote "Express Entry" on it
2) I wrote "Online"

Number 2 is tricky because selecting one of the existing would actually not be accurate.

I'm not saying the above is right, I'm just as confused. But I'm pretty sure the officer will make sure that the answer comes back to the right place.
 
Re: PCC from NewZealand in EE CEC

Thanks for both of you :)
 
Does someone have an idea how long it takes for the Canadian authorities to get the Criminal History Report from the NZ authorities?

I was wondering the same, but didnt do any search on it yet.
 
I did search but I couldn't find anything. It's difficult to say I guess because CIC is handling it.
 
I got this from the NZ Ministry of Justice and applies to when you requested the PCC yourself. That might give us a rough time frame to work with:

Please note: It takes 20 working days to process a request. This does not include the time it takes for the application to arrive to us or the time it takes to return our response to you in the post.

For me nothing changed yet :( but its been only a week.

This is how myCIC looks:
Application/profile status Open
Review of eligibility Review in Progress
Review of medical results Not needed at this time
Review of submitted documents No additional documents are needed at this time
Scheduling an interview Not needed at this time
A background check is needed Not needed at this time
A final decision has been reached Not Started

and my ECAS:
1. We received your application for permanent residence on February 19, 2015.
2. We started processing your application on February 19, 2015.


I didnt hear of anyone whose eligibility has a passed/done message. On an other treat some of those who already got their pr said their status hardly was updated.
 
Hi friends,
Newzealand Pcc can take time...but fortunately cuz I had newzealands drivers license as id proof. I got PPR within 2 and half months. My time line is

App date - 19 Nov
PER - 11 Feb
Second AOR (Warsaw) - 17 March
SLU - 27 April
MR - 11 May
Medicals done - 12 May
TLU - 20 May
PPR - 6 August
DM - 6 August

If any of you are facing problem, try getting Newzealand Pcc on your own behalf after waiting for about 3 months. You can write to privacy @ police.govt.nz and simply tell them you want your own personal history information from Newzealand police. Send your id proofs along. Write your name, dob, address of Newzealand and present address. They send it out within 10 to 20 days by email. Forward it to embassy, all should be good.
