Oh.. thanks man.. I've never lived abroad but still I'll try to get PCC and reference letters asap. I was under the impression that you have to apply for them only once ITA is received.. as the dates on them can have a say..but as per you, I am guessing that the dates don't matter..that's a pretty good score ....it's better u apply for your PCCs now itself if you've lived abroad....last heard someone who filed eAPR on 2nd Aug got PPR on 24th.....
if PCC , experience letter ,pof are ready,you could file ur eAPR within a week of ita...
All the best to you...

No it does not become problematic - its immigration bs. And no, it is not advisable to stay in the province for 2 years - this is even bigger bs. That doesn't mean not giving a try to the province which nominated you in the first place, but in the end you settle where you think you can give the most.
if you haven't lived abroad,it may not be necessary...
for me,my Indian PCC,I applied through passport seva portal & got the same day on my visit to the centre as per the appointment given...however it's been almost 3 months since I've been chasing my Qatar PCC & it is still 10-15 days away...if I had waited for ita to start on it,I may haven't been able to get it in time...
in ur case you can wait for ITA
And since we are actively talking about PCC
Should have posted my query here instaed of creating a new post - My bad!
Where I am now.
I have done my IELTS and my ECA so far. My CRS still seems fairly low (despite a CLB9), in the early 400+ and I don't expect ITA anytime soon. However, I am hopeful on the OINP opening in the near future and I believe I have a responsibility to be ready with post-ITA docs if and when required.
Now, here comes my situation. (PCC)
I have had cumulative 6 months+ stay in the last 10 years in the US and in Sweden. I currently reside in India.
I have done my research on getting the PCC from all 3 countries but the confusion arises as I have an impending travel back to the US presumably by end of October/early November.
Is it even worth the effort thinking about getting the PCC (apart from Sweden obviously since I don't have a reason to go back there now) done now with the forthcoming travel in mind?
What are the alternatives that I should be looking at?
Since the wait-times for the PCCs are loooong, this is causing more concern than it should actually be.
Please suggest folks!

- I shall apply for the Swedish PCC and that is likely to take a month or so.
- If I apply for the FBI PCC (US) now and before I receive the PCC, if I have to travel to the US, then do I have to apply for a new FBI PCC after landing there for my CIC application?
- Also if I apply for my Indian PCC now, and I end up travelling after receiving my PCC, do I need to reapply for the Indian PCC once I land in the US?

Im sitting at 427 too. Thats good to hear. Thanks for the info.that's a pretty good score ....it's better u apply for your PCCs now itself if you've lived abroad....last heard someone who filed eAPR on 2nd Aug got PPR on 24th...

Although my CRS will drop to 422 on sept 15th. Now considering wether I should do the IELTS again to (maybe) get an extra 3 points for a CRS of 425.
Hey everyone!
Currently @429. Do you guys think I stand a chance if a draw occurs next wednesday 30th August?

True that... For me all are ready except PCC... Seating at 421... Thinking to apply for PCC...that's a pretty good score ....it's better u apply for your PCCs now itself if you've lived abroad....last heard someone who filed eAPR on 2nd Aug got PPR on 24th...

If next wednesday we have a draw, you are almost certainly in.
I guess the CRS can fall till 427-428
Guyz any predictions for November rounds?
My CRS is 443. Done with IELTS (CLB 9). Will apply for WES next week and in Oct-17, will be able to get reference letter from current employer after completing two years.
I don't want to apply for any provincial nomination but i have a fear if CRS goes up by the time i will apply. There is no way i can increase my CRS as previous employers won't issue me reference letters (I was my own boss there so no point of getting it done from supervisor). Need some motivation!!
Another query, i think i will get my CPA membership until November. In that case, can i select Master/professional qualification? I currently have two bachelors. Selecting masters would increase my CRS to 450.

That is a different thing and depends on % of acceptance of ITA. My prediction is that it will remain between 2,900 to 3,100 ITA with score moving +/- 2 if draw is after two weeks, increasing +5 upwards if draw is after three or more weeks and declining by -5 if draw is after a week.
Earlier, you suggested that CIC is developing twice the processing capacity. Do you have any reason to expect more one week draws?
1. Swedish pcc : yes,go for itAnd since we are actively talking about PCC

2. Indian PCC : it can be obtained within a week time through passport seva Kendra,so it is better to wait till u get ita
3.USA :
PCC should be dated 'after you finally left the country' if you are no more residing there and should be dated within last six months if you are residing.So if you apply now,obviously FBI won't cover ur forthcoming stay period.It will work for you only if you get ur ita & file eAPR before you are required to travel again to USA...otherwise,apply as soon as you are back from ur trip

@Po0oyaa
any additions in points will come in handy esp nearing 400...missing a draw by 2 points could mean a longer wait..imagine someone who sat at 412 when it hit 413....u know where we are now...

@srvsh.pawar
PCC is valid for six months and I really hope and feel u should be having ur eAPR by then...so it may not be so bad to have it also ready with you...
Capacity building will take time and it will be more focused on processing applications already in system. So we may have a back to back draws in every 2 months but not for every month.
The processing will also have major impact on next year applications.
