police certificate from India and other questions

[mrs.aa]

Dear All

Indeed the below mentioned links will be helpful for those who need more information on Police Clearence Certificate.

INDIA:-

1. Locate the website of your "eligible" Indian Embassy or contact the Embassy for the form named "APPLICATION FOR MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES", which would be used for multi purpose, such as Name Change, Change of address & other miscellaneous services on the passport, Birth/Death/Marriage Certificate and Police Clearance Certificate to mention a few.
2. Fill up the form, fill only where it is required.
3. Do not fail to include your original passport along with the copies of all the pages of the passport, travelling visa documents (H1 or B1).
4. Enclose Money Order for the amount mentioned in the form (from USA, I enclosed $20 for normal service, if you wanted to have a faster service, call them and ask how much money you needed to attach for Expedited services along with the Speed Post charges)
5.. Write a letter indicating your name, address and the purpose of requesting the Police Clearance Certificate (Here mention that it is for Canadian Immigration). DO NOT FORGET THIS. They will provide PCC only for a particular reason.
6. Send it to the Indian Embassy and for normal process it should take 4-6 weeks and Expedited Process it may take lesser than one week. But always keep calling them and talk to them politely, they can help you in getting things faster.

Hi nomad_musafir:

What is the format of the PCC you get from the Indian Consulate?  Is it a stamp on the passport or is it in the form of a letter form the embassy? 

If it is a stamp in the passport, how do you submit this to the CIC?  A notarized copy perhaps?

Thanks

mrs aa,

did you try looking into the web site for the embassy at dc? it has the form and instructions available. it also has the phone number that you can call. i'd look for "official" answers there instead of forums.

The Consulate in DC did not work the way I would have liked. They wanted me to send them the passport for the entire time they would leisurely process the PCC. NY has a better process where they tell you when the PCC is ready, and then you send the passport. I went ahead and got my PCC from my home country.

I have no idea what form of PCC the Consulate issues.
