There is no direct relation of completion of IMEs to the need for a new PCC as directed/requested by the VO. Completion of IME only means you have complied to one of the requirements in the admissibility checks. It does not yet mean you have passed the medical admissibility check - that is done via a positive medical assessment of the IME results done by a Medical Officer.

There is no direct relation of the validity of the PCC to the need for a new PCC as directed/requested by the VO. Even if it is expired, it is an official document stating:
- no record of wrongdoing of the person named in the statement up to the time the PCC was issued.

If you have been in Dubai for x amount of years, the PCC is a statement there has been no record since the time you entered Dubai till when the PCC was issued. That is what the VO wants to see as part of the criminality checks - a clean record for places you have legally resided. This will be supplemented by their own security checks that will verify this information as available from countries where Canada has information sharing agreements with law enforcement agencies. If your PCC was issued last month, even if it is valid for 1 year, this PCC only shows information from the time you were in the country up to the time the PCC was issued. It does not mean you will/may not have a record for as long as the PCC is valid. So if there was some wrongdoing done after the PCC was issued - then it will be reflected in your record, but this is not in the already issued PCC. This is why additional security checks are done as part of admissibility, even if you have submitted a PCC, presumably to cover the gap from the issuance of the PCC up to the time of evaluation.

One scenario where the VO may ask for a new PCC is if there is considerable gap between the date issuance of the PCC and the criminality evaluation and if there are significant items identified in their own security checks that need re-verification via a new PCC. Ex. Your PCC was issued Jun 2013, but criminality evaluation was started Jan 2014, 6-months is a significant time period between which there is no criminality data for the applicant, lots of things may have changed since then. So a new PCC is expected to be requested.

Thanks, again!

Oh okay, you are near there. The 12-month processing is their overall timeline. A little wait and it should already over. You can check the 2013-2014 tracking sheet link on my signature so you have an idea. Caveat though, the process last year was faster.

Hi cebugirl!

sensya late reply.. :) i just do hope malapit na. nag-attend kami ng CIIP last monday, its very informative. nag-attend ka rin ng CIIP? Are going there alone or with your family?

I have 2 kids who are of school age already (5.5 & 11 by summer) so although we are yet to receive our PPR, I have been researching for good places to raise a family and have come across a forum where they have suggested the following areas.

Linden Woods South West
Saint Vital South
Charleswood West
River Heights Central
Amber Trails North
Birds' Hill Park North

I am thinking in terms of good environment for the kids, nearby school (and hopefully church as well), accessibility (public transpo) and safety.

May I ask our seniors who are already in Canada to please share their thoughts on these places? Or recommend something else more suited?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,

Nag apply ako ng MPNP online last April 7, 2014, got my confirmation number April 8, Spp2 from supporter sent April 8 and got acknowledgement receipt on April 16.

I just want to ask if anyone knows where my visa office would be, since I am here in the US on a (working visa) with my 3 kids, my husband is in the Philippines.

I would appreciate your reply.

Thanks.

Bows LoL

That is what happens when one doesn't have a smart phone: finding amusement in one's surroundings. haha

By the way, I edited the blog and added that there is a digital weighing scale before the check in counters. It'll help with checking the weight of luggages if needed.

I thought of writing something different for a change. Since the experience was really funny and also embarrassing. And when I left the plane, all I can think of was, this will be such an interesting blog.
