Getting a PCC for India is not too time consuming. After you get the ITA you have 90 days to upload all your documents and file the application. Under these circumstances I would advise you that when you get the ITA, you should initiate the PCC process for India. The reason why I am advising this is because you need the PCC for the R10 (completeness check). Even if you have complied with the rules (i.e. for countries you have visited the PCC should be issued after your left the country, but I am assuming you are on an Indian passport so they may ask you for an updated PCC) and the officer wants a new PCC, it will unnecessarily delay your application.sodapop123 said:So my only issue with documents i have already acquired, assuming i get an ITA within this year, could be the the foreign country PCC where i last visited in 2015. This is my home country - India. I got the PCC on May 10th so will be 6 months old on Nov 9th.
In this case, is it advisable for me to :
A. accept ITA (when i get it) and submit my application with this PCC (even if it is slightly > 6 months old) and then wait and see if CIC asks for an update one. If they do, i can apply for a fresh one at that time (it took me roughly 25 days to get my India PCC in US) ?
OR
B. Apply for a new one right now itself and wait to receive it before accepting an ITA ?
You are correct in assuming that you can upload the PSS that you have, however weight the pros and cons. I would wait 20-30 days in uploading the application instead of uploading and furnishing the documents later.
Another alternative is to get a PCC right away in anticipation of you getting the ITS sometime this year.
