Hi Shazia72,

I got your message "hi, i will really appreciate if u can help me out on one issue. I am a quebec selected applicant and i am going to apply for federal soon at kuala lumpur. I am waiting for police certificate for malaysia which i ve applied one mth back. I ve the certificate for my country which is pakistan. Can u tell me how long it took for u to get ur pcc for malaysia. I need to apply soon as my pcc for pakistan will be over 3 mths old soon. Which office ve u sent? Will it be ok if i send my application without pcc for malaysia n give them later?"

Answer:
For police certificate in Malaysia , it is called "Letter of Good Conduct". For Malaysians and for myself , it took only one day. You should send the original. Hope you have gone to Wisma Putra in Cyberjaya - that is the only place in Malaysia to get it. If in doubt, you may still visit the Kuala Lumpur Visa Office, best to ask them about if you can send without the Malaysian pcc. Don't call them, go there physically and see them. Not sure how long it actually takes for foreigners but I think shouldn't take that long like in your case. Also visit the Wisma Putra office physically and ask them about your status.
Personally, I think you can send first without the pcc for Malaysia - they will ask for it later. But of course better to send all at once. Otherwise you may risk irritating the officer who has the power to reject your application if you have too many mistakes or things missing.
Best of luck,
K

hi shazia72,
May i know when u receive ur certificate i am also apllying for federal soon in malaysia. Where r u from? For malaysian certificate, it mite take 2 mths and try calling wisma putra to find out abt ur status. Its always better to submit all the documents for ur application but if u can't , write a letter to cic. I hope i helped. Can u tell me more abt ur application as i feel we r both in the same situation n do tell us abt ur timeline once u submit ur application.
Regards
Shahzad

The Letter of Good Conduct from Malaysia takes up to 6 weeks (for foreigners) until it is posted back to your address.
