Police Clearance-Indian Embassy Toronto,do I need to submit my original passport

[sher_singh]

sher_singh, why do we need a PCC from Canada if we are applying from within Canada. As per the instruction guidelines available on the CIC website, PCC from Canada is not required.

@daniel, I know but there is nothing bad also in sending a whole complete application safe from all sides, like in case of PCC at some point they will say you to submit it and the same will take time but I think if u will send it in advance then the officer who has ur file infront of him/her will see it already there then they can consider it and which can also save both of ours and their time...and the same time they can give towards completion of the process ;D ..this is what i am thinking..!

 

[Daniel_Daniel]

well, you are also correct sher_singh. I agree with you

but just to reiterate that Canada PCC is not mandatory to submit but something which is nice to submit

Hi @draxz1289
You must have got your PCC by now? Did you apply in person or by mail? Did they keep the original passport or returned it back after verification as said by @sher_singh.
thanks.

daniel, don't worry, you are correct, you do not need a PCC from Canada. It is possible that CIC requests one later, and some people just like to cover their bases in case that happens, but personally, I don't like throwing away money.

Hey guys,

I deiced not to get both the PCC from here in Canada and from India.. Reason

According to the requirements for PCC "In general, you and everyone in your family who is 18 years of age or over need to obtain a police certificate. You must obtain a police certificate from each country or territory where you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18"

I left India in a month when I turned 18 to Canada to study, and it is not required to get a PCC from Canada unless requested.


I did go to the Indian embassy last month with all my forums filled and bank draft etc only to wait for 2 hours to meet the person behind the glass and to be told I need to show my original current work permit - which I didnt have even though I had a copy they wouldnt accept

 

[sheena231]

No in pcc it juss says the applicant name along with ur passport num..it doesnt say ur spouse name....yes in the forms it asks for but in pcc it doesnt cm.up....


My hubby works at toronto bls offc....he says in general pcc comes in 3-4 weeks but sometims takes longer than a month.....and yes they tk original passport n originl wpermit....i got mine pcc in 3 weeks

My wife's PCC was applied more than 2 months ago and she still has not received the PCC yet.
Its very annoying that BLS cant provide any info.
Anyone in a similar situation?
I applied at BLS Toronto.

Hi there

I do not want to disappoint you but just FYI.....

I have been in same situation for my wife's PCC, her record was clear though we waited for 7 months and still didn't get it, Finally we gave up and withdrawn application because we needed her passport for another reason.

I tried all possible ways to contact BLS, CGI, Regional passport office in the India and even local police station and couldn't made it.....

I still don't know the reason as they did not provide me any satisfactory reason. BLS and Regional passport office were blaming each other that BLS " we sent it from here already and we are waiting for their reply" where as RPO "we did not get anything from them, whenever we'll get it, we'll reply ASAP"

I hope you will get ur wife's plc ASAP and u guys dont have to undergo same situation as us.....

Thank you

Danny

So incase its taking more time from Indian Embassy ,whether CIC will accept that justification incase we are not able to submit PCC because of delays which we cannot control?
