Going by experience share in the forum so far, yes it is necessary. Even if not needed it cost ur application process nothing but when needed & not included it may be reason for refusal.

Yes it is necessary

Under what circumstances is this PCC required? Is it if there has been some case registered in the past OR under general category every applicant should do it?

 

[Dr.Raj91]

Its is not mandatory in India..! So don't worry about it..!

Pls if u put it it cost u nothing. I read a thread where member uttered his surprise when was rejected for it whereas it is not part of rquirments

 

[aparna.bhardwaj]

It's not about the cost always! One should be clear about when what is wanted. I agree there may have been cases where an applicant was rejected but there would have been a reason after some investigation. Correct me if i am wrong here n please do tell us if an applicant with no past history was rejected. By history, i dont just mean some criminal case, but like i read in some thread that a person since he stayed in many places was required to produce it.
Why i want to be clear about it is because i see people carrying bunch of documents when its not even needed just to be 'on the safe side'.
It is only. Here in india where people are led to believe that excess paperwork might get us through but as an applicant i still feel we need to make ourselves aware.
I look forward to the reply.

@Aparna - Yess you are absolutely right , It is needed in circumstances , if a person travelled multiple countries.
and if we talk about excess documents , Embassy has provided a document checklist on their website , so while applying we have to follow that checklist and they dont really appreciate extra documents ..

@neets_0047,
Yes this is what i wanted to say. The document checklist is self explanatory. I don't think even a visa officer will appreciate if we load them with things which are not mandatory. At the end , its an individual's choice to add documents but even that should be filtered and reasonable.

Hello Dr., I'd like to ask a question. As said, PCC is not mandatory in India, does it mean that it has already been mentioned PCC is not required for indian national? because I have traveled 4 different countries and needed to provide PCC when applying my study permit. but mine was refused by saying that I didn't provide Indian PCC since I couldn't get anyway. I am currently in Korea and I went to Indian Embassy in Korea, but they didn't accept my application for PCC. I definitely can't go back to India to get the PCC too since I am currently a student in Korea. I have posted the following and please give a suggestion if you have any.


"My study permit was refused because of police clearance letter. I stayed in 4 different countries more than 6 months including India. I could get 3 out of 4 PCCs and i submitted without Indian PCC because I was refused by the consular section of indian embassy in seoul by saying that Indian embassy is not accepting the PCC application from foreign national. So, my application was refused. NOw, i want to apply it again and I went bk to the embassy and the consular said i should get the letter of criminal history clearance from the institute i went and then he would stamp on that. Then when i got the letter and went back to the embassy, they stamped on that but it was mentioned on the letter that indian embassy doesn't take any responsibilities of the above content. I was scared to apply again with this letter in case if it is not valid enough, my application will again be refused. I asked to the embassy of canada in Manila. However, it has been 3 days already and they didn't response my query. I do not have much time left to submit my application. I do need suggestion. Please help."

PCC is required only after completion of your studies and then you apply for work permit there in canada so most people suggest it to make it earlier before going but after getting visa because it is very costly to get PCC in canada as compare to india.

I have applied for study permit with all the supporting documents. But I have lived in UAE (Did my undergraduation there 2008-2012) and Brazil (October 2012 - May 2013). Do I need to submit Police Clearance Certificate too? Or the CIC will make its own background checks (I have mentioned my stay in UAE and Brazil in the forms).

if you applied for study permit with all the documents listed in the checklist then you are good to go , dont worry about PCC now, I told you that its needed only when you apply to work permit in canada, well about background check embassy have their different ways to do background check like calling workplace, calling college etc so dont worry at all.

I am worried because I applied on 17th June 2014 .. and I am still waiting for the study permit visa. But I have no received any call from the embassy regarding any document etc. Will there be any problem if I submitted my TOEFL scores?
