When one should apply after receiving an ITA

[mrwait]

hi guys,

My concern is , after getting the ITA within how many days/months once should file the application online. I heard its two months and don't know if its true. What happens if one is not able to file within two months. In my case as i have to get the police clearance from three countries i don't think i will be able to get them in two months. Also part of the problem is police clearance is not valid if its issued more than three months at the time of filing the application. So i am afraid to apply now for a police clearance that if I don't get the invitation in three months. Any valuable suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Correct, you're given 60 days to submit a complete application after receiving ITA and if you don't apply within that timeframe it expires.

dont apply for PCC until you have an ITA

The only thing I would apply for before getting an ITA is your IELTS as thats valid for a lot longer

If you think you are going to run out of time, you need to decline your ITA and go back into the pool and await to be picked out again.

I declined my ITA at the start of this month, and resubmitted - got another ITA this weekend
