Hi, We have faced the same situation today. On the COPR for my daughter who has the Malaysian passport, both first name and last name are mentioned under 'Last Name' section. And when we went to get her health card done, technically she doesn't has the first name at all in the records. The...

Very much interested to know the responses. Even I'm going for soft landing. Hence the answers will be helpful for me. Thanks

Scenario - My wife and I have Indian Passport and valid USA Visa. My daughter has Malaysian passport, but no US Visa. We will be visiting Canada upon our COPR for 2-3 weeks only. During that trip, I want to visit my brother who is in NYC. Hence, I have 3 questions - 1. After getting...

Not necessary for state wise PCC for Australia. FBI one will suffice. But takes a millenium to get one. :o >:(

Yes. I had to pay for both now... You need seperate PCC from India as they mention the country for which this document is issued for.

Not all the time. Direct grant is issued only if all the documents meet the requirements of case officer and he is happy with the information provided. There is no refund in this case. But 99% of the files get processed unless you have faked something and CO decides to reject your application...
