Reasons for Rejection

[Asivad Anac]

You can check the frame size of the photo in Photoshop: Image --> Image Size --> Document Size (which is different from pixel dimensions). Also note that the 35 mm X 45 mm requirement was prefaced by 'at least'. So, this does not contradict the 50 mm X 70 mm requirement set out in 5445eb.pdf document.

But, I myself have a related question regarding this. I already submitted my e-APR, with a digital photo that conforms to all the requirements set out in the e-APR uploading section (the blue dot with an exclamation mark in it).

However, the digital photo does not conform to all the requirements in the requirements set out in the 5445eb.pdf file. Specifically, in my digital photo, my mouth was slightly open, whereas in the 5445eb.pdf, it explicitly states that the mouth must be closed.

On the other hand, the e-APR instructions do not say anything about what facial expressions must be like.

I am guessing this digital photo is not that important considering that at the final stage (if one gets to that), the applicant will be asked for physical photos in the step called Passport Request.

Does anyone know whether they actually reject applications because of problems with the digital photo submitted in e-APR?

No rejections because of the photograph not meeting specifications.

was wondering if someone has a fair idea whether they start BG check once medical has passed in their system irrespective EE is updated or not?

Actually, in my case, medical is in review and bg is in progress. I am a treated case of VSD (hole in heart), I submitted echo and ecg with my emedical report along with the doctor's recommendation which stated that I am medically fit for next 5 years.

Any comments senior members please?

update anyone?

update anyone?

There is no fixed criteria for this. Even when there is, there are too many factors involved. Often people with background from countries which usually takes longer to go through bg chk are started sooner. Mine started 2-3 days after submission and AOR and still is in process where as medicals remained in process for around 10 days before they passed. So don't try to infer any thing out of it. These steps are not sequential.

All the best

The problem is more likely to arise when applicants get PCC from provincial police authorities instead of passport (or equivalent federal/national) authorities. Forum members had earlier reported rejections when Indian applicants provided PCCs issued by local authorities - those PCCs were time-bound or geography-bound or both.

Hi Asivad

I agree that we need to get PCC from PSK but there is an exception for people living in Punjab(India), that they can take from office of SSP (Senior supredent of Police) . Its also mention on CIC website.

This has been discussed multiple times already. Some members reported rejection because PCC issued by provincial police authorities were time-bound or geography-bound or both. PCC issued by passport authorities in India aren't bound by either so they are definitely recommended. If the PCC issued by provincial police authorities is also not time-bound or geography-bound, that should certainly be acceptable as well.

This appears to be fine. The only trouble is that this is, technically, time-bound as it refers to your stay at a particular address. If you haven't lived anywhere else except there since turning 18, no problem.

Hi all,
regarding the PCC address issue ..

I read the information here and checked how things are in my country.
So the format of the PCC is this :

name, identification number, current address, names of parents, place of birth
then it says "the person has not been convicted"

It does not include any previous address and is not separated by address. Should I try to ask them to include my previous address? I lived in the same address since I was 18 with small stays in a different country. However, I moved to my husband's address in october ..

What should I do in this case?

 

[alee667]

Its the same all across Pakistan. There is no central authority except DPO. As long as you have a police certificate which mentions the entire period since the age of 18 (or two certificates with different addresses which combine to that period you are fine).

In Pakistan every police certificate has an address. In fact PC is issued based upon which address you are currently residing and getting it from.

Since I have lived in many cities across many years (add my spouse to that). We just got certs from two of our major residences covering the entire period since the age of 18.

I have friends who worked say in Karachi for a few years and submitted even job experience letter from that location. But their police certificate was from Lahore since their home address on NIC never changed.

For CIC, you need PC from Pakistan, covering the entire period since the age of 18. Whether you do it with 1, 2 or 3 certificates is entirely up to you.

The rejection cases mentioned didn't cover those periods example they were issued a PC only since 2010 or 2013 on a particular address. The issue is length of time, not address.

Full marks to you mate. Agreed.

Its the length of time that matters to CIC.

Then, I suggest you not to use this PCC. Submit a PCC that is not time/geography bound.
