Hi @andy108

hope all is good.

My application has been stuck on BG NA for a long time (more than a month).

AOR : 9th of june
Medical passed: 8th July.
I am not sure about ip1 or NA dates.

here is what is reflecting in my application :

could you please advise? Thank you
Don't worry, not all applicants the same.

About 10%-15% (sometimes a bit more) of applicants get ppr in the first 30-60 days after AOR.

Then 60%-70% get by 6 months.

Then 15%-10% get to wait more than 6 months.

So, your timeline seems to fit into middle line for now... worrying does not help :)

The velocity of the process mostly depends on Visa Office. I would advise you to find out where your application is being processed. I could guess it is in Sydney ...

This will depend on your residency.

As per IRCC:

  • For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.
  • For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country.
  • Police certificates are required up front and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has lived for a total of six months or more. This instruction is for the purpose of the completeness check under section R10. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional police certificate.
If you are a resident of the US, you can travel outside US and your FBI PCC will be fine. However, if you are not the resident of the US, then the US FBI PCC should be issued after you last visited the country.

Also, the FBI PCC should be less than 6 months old.

After the application is filed, it is locked and there is no need to inform IRCC of any travels. The only time you need to inform IRCC, is if you change your residency from one country to another or if there has been a change to your personal circumstances.

So following is our case , My wife is primary applicant and I am applying as dependent.
Received ITA - Aug 09
FBI PCC will arrive for both of us - Sep 2nd week (estimated)
Spouse(Main Applicant) traveled to India - July 18th (She will be in India until Dec this year)
Self (Applying as dependent) travelling to India - Sep 25 and return Oct 15th.
Planning to submit the PR application Oct 2nd week once I return back to US

Do you think my wife(primary applicant) staying in India will be an issue issue here , even though I have given her present address on her application as US address.
But I will be mentioning that she is staying in India for the past 3-4 months in the last 10 years address section.
Pls advice.

An applicant can stay anywhere, that is not an issue. The issue is residency.

If your country of residency is USA, then:
  • For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.
If other countries where you have lived:
  • For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country.
This would mean that the PCC from other countries you have lived should have been issued after you last lived in that country. However, once an application has been filed, the applicant is free to travel across the world.

Hi Guys, is there any forum for post PPR applicants with local VO as New Delhi for the processing of Visa stamping?

Thank you. Makes sense. Thanks a lot of your help.

But one last question, my country of origin is India, I am a resident of US , staying here since past 2 years . I got my Indian PCC from Indian embassy like a couple of weeks back.
But now I am planning to visit India for a couple of weeks from Sep 25th till Oct 10th and I will submit my PR application say on Oct 15th.

As per the below rule , does that mean I need to get another Indian PCC after Oct 10th as I last visited India on Oct 10th. or does it matter only if we change our country of residence to India(lived in India)?

If other countries where you have lived:
  • For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country

If other countries where you have lived:
  • For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country

If you visit India before you submit your application, you will be required to submit new PCCs, this includes country of origin.
