In exceptional circumstances, some applicants may experience delays in obtaining PCs within the 60-calendar-day timeframe allocated to submit a complete e-APR. In such situations, applicants should submit a letter of explanation as part of their application and include proof of having requested a PC (e.g., a copy of the receipt obtained when they requested the PC from the prescribed authority). The officer's discretion may be required in assessing whether PCs that do not fall within these time limits are valid and reliable for the purpose of evaluating admissibility.

I know and I went through all these before.
An example of an "Exception Circumstance" as CIC quoted is a war in Syria etc....which is really not the case with us.
I don't know if FBI system upgrade delay would be accepted as an "exceptional circumstance" by CIC..

Maplemadness82, we are in the same position. At 466 points, I know it's possible we will be in the next draw, and yet the two Slovak police certificates we obtained over Christmas have just expired, and the FBI report, which I applied for also over Christmas, has not yet arrived or even been charged to my credit card.

If we are included in the next draw, remember that we have 60 days to file. We sent off applications to the poor Slovak embassy in Ottawa today to get new certificates there, and they should arrive within 60 days. We intend to do that every 3 months until we're invited to apply. I figure that if the foreign embassies complain to Canada about this, Canada will change the rule. Until then, we have no choice.

If the American PC doesn't arrive by 59 days after the ITA is issued, we intend to send an explanatory note with our application. After all, it is sure to arrive during the 6-month processing period!

No stress over things you have no control over, and the FBI is definitely out of our control!
