Hey.... Is it good idea to get PCC done before ITA? My consultant has asked me to get it done post ITA... How much time does PCC take if current and permanent address differ???
Thanks in advance
It really depends on your score.
I got 468 so I pretty much knew I was getting the ITA in the next draw. So a week before I got the PCC and upfront Medicals done.
Are you from India? If address is different then after you file for PCC and submit documents, someone will come over to verify your address. This could take around 2-3 weeks and once the verification is done you will then have to make another appointment to collect your PCC. Could be anywhere between 2-4 weeks.
However, if you know someone who could use their influence then it may all be done in a week or less
