Anybody applied for their PCC around December 27, 2023? My police verification has been done in India on January 29th and status on passport seva portal hasn’t been updated yet. I only have 17 days left to accept the ITA

Based on previous updates, it seems like average time for new update after "PCC is Clear and ready for issuance" is 21 days.
Hi all,
Sharing my PCC timeline. I applied through the postal service BLS option (Brampton).
12/12/23 -- Postal pick-up through Purolator
15/12/23 -- Documents received by BLS Brampton
21/12/23 -- Processing at CGI/HCI
02/01/24 -- 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. -- status in passportseva in portal
06/01/24 -- My parents visited the police station (didn't get a call for 4 days so asked my parents to visit), file was already there. Police asked for adhaar card, passport and a photograph as a copy. submitted all the same day
10/01/24 -- pcc is clear and ready for issuance.
04/02/24 -- pcc has been printed
05/02/24 -- purolator in transit
06,07/02/24 -- I hope I'll get it soon.
It took 8 to 9 weeks to get a PCC. [No emails or no calls or no visits]

You can apply, add a letter of explanation with your file. I'd say wait until a day or two before would be better if you attach the PCC alongside.
It is recommended that you don't submit your file without PCC as PCC based rejections are common. However, you can still attach a LOE to explain your situation if you don't get it on time. Try emailing CGI as well for follow-ups. You can even attach the email screenshots for a convincing reason that you tried everything to get PCC but still didn't get it.

Hello All,
I have Canadian Passport and in need for PCC from India for all my stay from birth. I have applied through manual form(Foreign National earlier Indian Origin Form) and mentioned all my addresses and dates. I have below question regarding my application and process:
1) My application is "processing at consulate" as per the BLS tracking status since 18th Jan 2024. Is this status get updated/change with other status like Indian passport holder applicant?
2) Do my parent need to visit near police station for enquiry if there is no intimation? If yes how long it will take my application to reach Police station?
3) How long it takes to receive PCC in case of foreign passport holder? Is it really takes 8 weeks as per BLS site?
Please suggest if anyone have already gone through this process.
Thanks,

Finally I got my PCC printed today after visiting CGI and requesting for the print. I submitted my application on December 27th. Almost all the delay was with CGI and BLS. Got the clear report on the same day police verification was initiated. I would definitely recommend visiting CGI if there is a clear report and ready for issuance on the tracking portal.
my status is ready for dispatch from last 2 days. I put prepaid envelope and purolator has still no info for pickup. Are there supposed to be any other updates after "Ready for Dispatch"?
I got a tracking number day after the status changed to "Ready for Dispatch". You should call BLS because they're the ones who'll dispatch it.
Finally I got my PCC
