Hi,
My application is not opened yet, Can I apply PCC from India now and upload before they ask?
You certainly can apply, i would recommend that you do. Once you get some sort of communication from IRCC with your application# on it you can then send them the PCC via the webform and for that you need an application#.

Hi all, can you enlighten on this point. I have been asked resubmit my father's 'new' passport which I believe is because current passport expires in Nov 2024.
Problem is he is traveling somewhere in few days and will be back by mid-May. So before that he won't be able to renew his passport. Will the CIC provide extension for submitting new passport?
If you write to them explaining this situation then they will. In fact it must say on the letter that you got that if you cant meet the deadline then you need to get back to them with an explanation.

My mom currently lives in India and I'm sponsoring her PR through PGP.
I applied for Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from India.
I want to know how to get a PCC for her 12 months stay in Canada as a visitor.

Could someone clarify? Thank you.
You dont need one unless they explicitly ask for one for Canada, I went to the local RCMP office for my parents and they turned me away stating that reason.

Which number do I call in order to see if they have received the documents that I sent by email? Is there any other way to find out? I did not hear back after I sent the documents back on 27th February.

hi,

your biometrics status changed to completed?We have completed biometrics on March 19. I can see expiry date and enrollment number.
But status still shows “we need your fingerprints”

Hi all, received my AOR today.

Just a quick question, I am being asked to submit IMM 5768 which I have already submitted in the application. Do I go ahead and resubmit even though there is a statement saying "In order to minimize processing delays, if not already included in your application, please obtain and submit as soon as possible."?
