I just received Procedural fairness letter. Back Dec 2019 I submitted PCC copy via Email VO, I didn’t check authenticity since I went to apply myself at Police Station and I didn’t sent the Original I was very naive at that time
Based on GCMS notes in March 2020 VO request Verification about PCC to RAU but Covid-19 happened, file has no new entry until Dec, 2020. This time VO sent request verification to Issued Authority after 3 days another entry on GCMS. verification completed. So now VO has concern about authenticity of PCC. Today I went to Foreign Minister to do Authentication but they told “Document expired” it’s over a year since it’s been issued and they can not do much. What is my option? How can I convince the VO this is not my fault? the documents was original with receipt payment. Keep in mind in I’m in Third World country where everything is not online. My theory is when VO request whoever reporting back from the Station did not bother to look for the file without motive/money or the station misplaced the file and can not find file, which is possible I have heard IRCC lost documents before all the time.
