28 July: Police Verification has been initiated and a request has been sent to Indian Embassy/Consulate. PCC needs to be collected from the Indian Embassy/Consulate where the applicant applied after a 'Clear' Police Verification Report is received at the Indian Embassy/Consulate ( No Email)
 
My status is on "PCC is available for issuance" for last 5 days. I tried raising sampak query, no luck.

Can anyone advice if I can take any step to expedite this?
 
Hello. I have started working full time (July 2023) after completing one year course in Canada. My PGWP is pending. It will be issued for a period of one year only. Thus, I will have to apply for PR immediately on completing one year of job. I am worried about the situation.
Please advise about the right time for file for PCC (Delhi) in my case.

Anyone knows how long it takes to get PCC after,

Hi All

I am about to apply for PCC, I reside in Greater Toronto Area. Can you please tell - u need to select toronto jurisdiction
1. Do I need to apply in Toronto or Ottawa Jurisdiction? Does it help in speeding the process if we select a particular jurisdiction? - it doesnt matter - apply at the nearest BLS
2. I recently got new passport during my visit to India and I stayed there for more than 6 months. The address mentioned there is now vacant and nobody resides. Can I fill address as my parents address? If so, do they visit the passport address or address I mention in application form? - U need to mention where u want the veriication to be done - the police will go to that address to verify
3. Which police station should I select? The one which is nearer to my parents address or my permanent address( passport) police starion? - if you are giving your parents address - then that police station
4. Will the Indian police officer visit the mentioned address or my parents have to visit the selected police station? - he will visit the address u mention on the PCC form
What documents should be submitted to support the address issue. - no docs needed - ur parents will have to show some doc like elec bill etc to show they live there
Looking for help, thankyou

After the tracking details update, how many days did it take you to receive the PCC from Purolator?
 
Indian PCC was pretty quick. timelines

July 4 - Posted to BLS via puralator
July 5 - Received by BLS
July 7 - Processing at Consulate
July 12 - PCC initiated
July 15 - PCC cleared
July 15 - PCC printed
July 16 - in transit
July 17 - PCC received and delivered

So total less than 2 weeks.

Some points to note - I have not been to India since 5 years. Passport renewed and issued at a country other than India. And my police station was Mumbai. I assume Mumbai/Maharashtra Police is very quick and efficient
