Through passport Seva you can get it within 7 working days. In fact, there was a case (a few hundred pages back) where PCC was available for pickup the very next day (in person verification was also not done). PCC from India is very straightforward now. Passport Seva is best as you get one India-wide. However, if you go to your local police station you will obtain PCC for that area only (which may not be accepted by IRCC).
Thanks a lot. So, I ll book the appointment. It is weird that this process can take more than a month in some countries and we only get 1 month to submit documents.
See my post above, you will get within a week if you apply from Passport Seva. See PCC example in tracker / my signature obtained through Passport Seva.
One thing to keep in mind is that a PCC is valid for 6 months, so if you are expecting the request to come in few days from CIC, its better to keep it ready before hand then to have the last minute rush.
How much time it took you for PCC ? Also is it necessary that the applicant had to go and collect the certificate document. My parent are out of town and will have to travel to go to the Passport office so wondering if they need to visit twice or anyone authorized can collect the PCC once available.
Only few people stuck in process without any reason is pure non-sense and very unfair
Overall it took 15 days for the complete procedure. Yes, everywhere it has to be in person. Even spouse is not allowed to collect the letter. Both parents had to go for each process back and forth.
BLS won't process the request unless you have the letter from cic. Also person who is sponsoring should bring in their passport, landing documents etc they will ask for it. Sigh we went there 3 times already back again tommow
Agreed,
It costs less than 10 bucks (in Passport Seva); even if it expires, get another one made. Better to have one in hand ready, than to scramble at the last minute. Especially if one needs PCC from other countries where parents were former residents. Same logic for Birth Certificates. Many parents don't have Birth Certificates. Now they are required.
