Dear Asivad

I have a query with regards to the new directives issued on the 11th of February 2016 requiring PCC for countries in which a candidate has a cumulative stay of 6 months or more. I file my e-APR on 1st of February and got the AOR same day, but after this directive i checked my wife's travelling history and in which she had stay in a specific country for more than 6 months cumulatively. I reacted proactively and arranged the PCC for her from that country and i have got it with me now. What i am confused about is now that should i do a CSE and attach the new PCC with a LOE informing that with new guidelines i'm sending the additional PCC OR Should i refrain from that and wait for IRCC to respond or request if they require it or not.

On the other hand i'm apprehensive of that fact that they might reject our application without giving us the chance to explain our situation. i would like to take your opinion on this and what would you suggest should be the best course of action for our application.

Thanks in advance for your tremendous help like always!

Marriage certificates in India are now being issued by municipal authorities of the city but the signing authority remains the SDM in whose jurisdiction you reside. Be assured the BMC will issue this certificate and SDM will be signing it.
Hey bro thanks for the reply.

So The BMC marriage certificate will be valid then as proof for marriage certificate for express entry ?

Since i am having plenty of time after i have applied for my NS PNP, i am filling out my Schedule A form in advance. A few questions :

1. Section 4 - Mothers name at birth
Should i go as per her birth certificate or as per her present passport?


2. Section 7 - Education
Number of years of education for each level of education
--I did a 4 year engineering course but took 7 years to complete it, so should i declare as 4 years or 7 years? I have declared in my PNP application as 7 years since my first semester marklist to last semester marklist shows 7 years (including my degree), but wes shows as 4 year-Canadian Equivalent degree

How can I know which VO is processing my application? Judging by the time updates seem to happen on my application so far, the VO, at least as of right now, seems to be in North America somewhere, probably Central or Eastern time. But is there any way to actually know? Would it not make far more sense for my VO to be New Delhi, for example?

1. request GCMS Notes
2. Call CIC and try to ask them - usually they do not let you know :)

How long should one wait until they order GCMS notes, on average?

Ordering from outside of Canada through visafile.info have to wait atleast 45 days.

If requested from inside Canada by a person than 30 days :)

If you want to see some real progress on your application, wait 60-90 days before applying for GCMS notes.
