Police Clearance - requisition letter from Canada embassy

[rhea2722]

Hi guys

I have received my ITA and currently in the process of getting the necessary police certificates.
I am an Indian working in Singapore. Hence I need to get my Indian PCC from the Indian embassy in singapore.

However, the Indian embassy in Singapore requires a requisition letter (a request letter from Canada immigration for the issuance of a PCC).
How should I get this requisition letter from the Canada embassy/immigration department?

Is anyone facing the same issue?

Hi

If you are staying in Singapore.

Just relax about PCC.

Your part comes only after CIC request you for PCC from SG.

FROM CIC SITE

Do I need to provide a Police Certificate with my Application for Permanent Residence?

No. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will send you a letter requesting a police certificate after you send your Application for Permanent Residence. You must bring that letter when you apply for a Police Certificate.

Name of document(s) to get: Certificate of Clearance (COC)

If you are not a citizen of Singapore:

If you live in Singapore:

You should submit your application and all supporting documents in-person or by mail to the COC Office (see Special notes and considerations for complete address). Your certificate will be mailed directly to the Canadian immigration office requesting the certificate.

Yes I get this.

But I am talking about PCC for India, not of Singapore.

In India you can do through Passport Seva Online application.

Follow the steps provided in the below link.

It will be great if you share the info after you complete this process like how much you spent, how long it took etc...

Hi Sreeni

Thanks for the above info..
Bt my problem is a bit different.

I want INDIAN PCC from Singapore.

So I need to contact the Indian embassy in Singapore to get this Indian PCC. And they are asking for a requisition letter. And I do not know how to get this requisition letter from the canada embassy.

So the passport seva service is for indians who are currently in India... I am not in India and hence need to get my Indian PCC through the Indian embassy in Singapore.

I hope I have explained my issue in detail.

I will be in a similar situation when i get my ITA, I did some research and found this general request letter on CIC website.

Google : police clearance letter canada pdf

You will find a pdf,Try this letter, i am assuming u r going thru VFS for this PCC, do let me know if it works, if not getting it from India is the only option.

 

[rhea2722]

Thanks Varun.. this looks legit... I will ask VFS if this will work and let you know here.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Varun

VFS did not accept this letter which you found online. They need an actual customized letter mentioning the applicants name, reference num etc from the canada high commission/immigration office.

This is crazy.. Now I am just hoping the canada immigration replies to my email soon and sends me this letter otherwise Ill have to go to India just for this

 

[RAJIV2286]

you can present your ITA mail copy and any generic process copy for EE which CIC have on website and have information for PCC requirement..

 

[rhea2722]

Well Yes I presented my ITA email copy...but VFS did not accept that... They specifically want an official looking letter from the Canada immigration mentioning my reference num etc. They told me to send an email to CIC ... have sent it.. lets see how many days does it take to process a reply.

 

[RAJIV2286]

I think you must have some link activated on your mycic account to communicate online with CIC as they mentioned at all their official communication that they will communicate through mycic account. You must check and communicate with them through this option for speedy response apart from email option to CIC..

 

[rhea2722]

Well I checked my account and there is no link to communicate with CIC. All questions have to go through question@cic.gc.ca
