Wait until they send you the invite to land. Then you can notify them that you're either not in Canada, or you expect to leave. Give them the return date. They will reschedule. It will be fine.
thank you so much for the response
how they will going to contact us via email or over the phone? Most likely my phone will not work during my vacation? Also i would like to know how we have to notify them for the rescheduling interview? via email or phone?

If they normally communicate with you by email, then email for the landing notice. Unless they want to get you in urgently (expiring medical, passport, whatever reason). If it's urgent, telephone.

When rescheduling, sometimes you to reply to the email, sometimes you can call. I would do both. This is highly dependent on the landing office.

When you say you passed eligibility, do you mean you got AIP?
Hello Profiler, I have a document in MyCIC stating that I have met the requirements to apply for PR. But this will not be completed until security, background, medical and criminal records check are complete. I guess this is the AIP. I received this in September 2017 or so. The call center told me they don't know why my eligibility is showing in reviewing because it's been recorded in their system as passed.

Actually, that makes sense. Review of Eligibility will remain in that state in myCIC until you land. Eligibility usually means that you can apply for a PR in that class (you have a sponsor, have proofs you are related to the sponsor, etc). But in myCIC speak, it's saying you need to pass: Medical, Security, and Criminality checks too.

ECAS should be showing "In progress" for the Applicant side though.

Hello all,

My common-law application has requested the PCC. She has been living in Canada for more than a year and a half now. How many police certificates does she need to provide besides her country of origin? Does she needs to get the fingerprints and criminal record from the RCMP in Canada? The letter also says her family members need to submit one as well, does it mean I need to get my fingerprints and criminal record also from RCMP? I am not a Canadian citizen but living here for more than 10 years (most of my adult life since I have been 18).

Thanks a lot for your help!

So your question asks how many -- I only know of two countries that your partner has lived in: her country of origin, and Canada.

She will need to submit a PCC for every country she has lived in for more than 6 months, EXCLUDING Canada. If they explicitly ask for fingerprints, that will serve as a PCC for Canada. If they have not explicitly asked, then no fingerprints required.

Regarding Family: Anyone who is included in the application will have to submit PCC's. So, that would be dependents seeking PR's. Anyone not seeking PR's do not need to supply PCC's.

No idea. I have not been through rescheduling. You will need to work out that detail with them. I do know that if you advise them of your return date, they will try to accommodate that.

For us it's the other way around . No mention of anything passed, although Criminality check and Medicals are both in. However, I was quite pleased that ECAS finally showed under Applicant that the Medicals were received..Just about a month after they were done.. I guess you were right when you referred to it as a dinosaur.. :) It looks like they are working on applications that were sent in the end of October, so I assume it will be another month yet.. But- Santa may surprise us... Hope springs eternal!

ECAS is the Tried, Tested and True source of information from CIC IMHO. They asked for the medical, right? That might be a clue.... check ECAS tomorrow morning -- I would be interested to know if there is any change :).

I phoned the 24 hour line just now and am very happy to share that the hubby passed his medical ( woot). He will not require an interview, no further documents required, currently processing his background.. :) Phew... you were right, as usual.:)

Medical I am not surprised about -- but congrats just the same :).

Check ECAS in the morning. Just...trust me on this. I have a hunch....

*USUALLY* when you see some movement, esp. after a medical request .. there might be a change ;)
