Hey Rafa,MidoRafa said:
There you are
. I have a few questions brother?I sent my package for PR to Sydney Case Processing Centre, Nova Scotia, on 17th of May, 2016. I see on the CIC Website they mention that
the processing time is 14 months.
Question 1: Is the processing time 14 months from the date of receipt of AOR, or the 6 months required to generate AOR is included in the
processing time of 14 months itself? So, Either the processing time would be 14 Months or 20 Months. This is confusing.
Question 2: My lawyer keeps asking me to provide police certificates for Saudi Arabia, and India. However, Unlike Sweden(who require only
fees paid to Swedish Police to give a P.C.C; Saudi Arabia and India require "Documentary Evidence or Supporting Documentation
from the Embassy which requests/demands for P.C.C. for the Applicant in question.
Also, It is clearly mentioned on the CIC website that when the CPC opens the respective Applicants file, they themselves will
send an official email as mentioned below: (Extract from CIC webpage below).
"A police certificate request letter will be sent to you by mail after your application for Permanent Residence has been received. You
must present this letter, along with valid identification and proof of legal residency in Saudi Arabia to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If
they approve you, the letter will give you the address to the police headquarters where you must go and apply in person.
For applications being processed at any other office, request letters can be requested by e-mail: riyadh.visa@international.gc.ca or
fax: 966-1-488-9657. Please include the file number, the office where you applied and your mailing address.
If you are applying at the Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, UAE, you should submit a police certificate with your application. You can
contact the visa office for a request letter at fax: (971 2) 694-0396 or e-mail: abu-dhabi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca. Please
include your immigration file number if you have one.
Also for India, The Indian Embassy, Riyadh, and the Police Headquarters in India are each asking for "Documentary Evidence" i.e.
"Supporting Documents" from requesting Embassy, in order issue P.C.C's to the Applicant in question.
Now, How can I god damn bloody obtain a P.C.C without a "Requesting Letter" from Canadian Embassy which addresses to all
the countries from where the Applicant stayed for 6 months or more.
For example, if a person has stayed for 6 months or more in 5 countries, then it is the duty of the Canadian Embassy to provide
5 request letters, One for each country in question, and for each applicant and spouse totalling to 10 request letters.
Why ask for P.C.C., when the establishment seeking P.C.C for applicant in question cannot provide Request Letter.
Crazies man people are. And, you know
the funny thing. One of my friends went to collect P.C.C. from one of the Police Stations in Saudi
where I live, and the Police Officer was refusing to entertain handing over the P.C.C to him until and unless he gave him
documentary evidence for the same. Getting a P.C.C is not like entering a Supermarket, and paying money for it. There is
a process of exchange of documents from the Embassies of countries to facilitate this requirement for the applicant in question.
Another case of a friend of mine when he went to request for P.C.C from Saudi Arabia, the Police officer irritated him by saying
"Why do you guys want to come to our Country in the first place, when you want to leave after all". First, they complain why
we are in their country, then they complain when we want to leave their country also. Oxymoronic is the Middle East really.
