PCC from US

[rohitmahagun]

Hi Senior Members,

I am applying for PR from New Delhi. During 2006-07, I lived in US for more than 6 months in Missouri state.

I need a PCC from the IPO in Delhi.
+ I need a FBI Certificate with fingerprints.

Not sure if I need another Criminal Record Check from the MO state.
Please help....

If yes, how do I apply for the same since I am in India from past 2 years.

Regards,
Rohit

State police clearance certificates are no more mandatory. This is from the website www.cic.gc.ca

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?

Yes. Applicants should provide a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) certificate with fingerprints. State certificates may also be requested. The Visa Office will advise you if state certificates are required in your case.

Rohit,
As said above, It is not mandatory to submit State PCCs. But if the Visa Office requests- you will have to submit. As you are not in US it will take time to get a state PCC if the Visa Office requests.
To be on a safer side you can get it ready in order to quickly sent your documents once u get AOR, or wait for AOR and do accordingly.
I think you have already started with your FBI PCC process........be very careful with the QUALITY of the FINGERPRINTS you submit.

Good Luck

Yikes... Today, CIC updated the page again on police clearance from states ...

the link to the States is back. You should be able to find info on Missouri now. They have both fingerprint and non-fingerprint options, you should choose the fingerprint option. Look for instructions for non-residents.

"The Visa Office will advise you if state certificates are required in your case."

Doesn't say if they will advise you before or after you apply

I'm concerned now about how to interpret this, because CIC Buffalo still seems to expect them, by default.

You might want to contact CIC New Delhi to find out if you need it or not. Tell us what they say!

Hi Rohit,

I emailed to ask Buffalo to be sure... they confirmed that they would inform applicants if they needed State PCCs... presumably it's the same for other local offices.

FBI is Federal, not state. You do not need any state clearance at this time. You do need an FBI -

You need one from EVERY COUNTRY you have lived in for at least 6 months, since you were 18 years old. You need one from INDIA. If you are in the US you will have to apply through your nearest consulate/embassy.
