Dear Saki,Mitali,STS,

i am Nevil here.My question is in the background declaraion,i left some areas blank like association with some parties,governmental organization.is it ok?those who have got +aor and done the same mistake can u pl. reply?!! worried a bit as some guys got rejection based on keping some area blank..

Nevil
Hi Nevil,

I am sorry... but your mistake is a serious lapse in filling up of your application. I will be more than happy if you get your AOR but the Application might be returned as "Incomplete ". And if you are trying to find ppl who got AOR with this mistake then it will be equivalent to finding a pin in a haystack.

Is your NOC still in the current list? If it is then I think you should start putting papers together for a new application than to wait for AOR. Well, if you get the AOR then you will be fine if not then atleast you can send the papers as soon as possible. Remember the limitation on the number of applicants post 26th Jun rule.

pgt,

Let me share with you, my experience. I had applied for a PCC at the RPO (Regional Passport Office) in Mumbai because I fall under their jursidiction. It took about 15 days for the PCC to be granted.
At the time of applying, you have to specify the name of the country for which you need the PCC. The actual PCC will bear the name of that country.
Here is the (detailed!) process for those of you who are interested:
The RPO sends your application to the nearest police station. The police station sends a couple of plainclothesmen to the address mentioned in your application. They verify who you are; if required, they even interrogate neighbours. If you are not at home when they come, you are supposed to go to the PS in person. Take photocopies of all ID proofs (ration card, voter id, passport etc) when you go.
Once the local PS is satisfied (that you were never involved in any criminal activity), they send your file to the Special Branch I, CID, Mumbai. They ensure that you are eligible to emigrate out of the country (no criminal court cases pending, no instance of your passport having been impounded etc). From there, once approved, the RPO issues the PCC. That is the place from where you get the final delivery of your PCC.
So, the issuance of the PCC is a process that is handled jointly by the Police dept and the Passport Dept. I dont think is one or the other. So, in my opinion, you must approach the relevant RPO for the PCC.

I have a question, my sis is in India, in Gujarat, she has just recd her file number, she is a physiotherapist and her appliction reached to CIO on 29th April. Now, she is ready with IELTS, the question is, should we go for only Police Verification Certificate, issued by Commissioner of Police or should we go for Passport office also?

This is given on CIC website.

Only the Senior Superintendent of Police or the Regional Passport Office may sign a Police Clearance Certificate.
Please guide us friends...

Sadika,

I was asked for the AOR by Singapore. I did not have it (I still do not). However, I shared with them, a copy of ALL the documents that I submitted to NS. Maybe the same thing may work with the Guj Police. You may also choose to give them a copy of the page from the CIC instructions booklet that mentions the requirements of a PCC.

Hi Saki,Mitali,

Is a 6 month bank statement can be enough evidence for funds or it should be accompanied by certificate from bank (letter with closing balances) ?

I can get bank statement easily , but should make a special request for that letter and wait for long time before having it issued.

Please advice

Thanks,
Moataz

Hi,

If you have a 6 months statement thats fine then no need for the current balance statement. That is only needed if you dont have 3 0r 6 months statement.

Cheers

Hi Saki,

As you know in Pakistan every one has 2 First Names and 1 Last name

for example "Muhammad Sajjad Ali"

While filling the application i wrote as:

BOX1: Family Name: Ali
BOX2: Given Name (s): Muhammad Sajjad
BOX3: N/A

Do you think it can cause any problem by putting 02 first names in the "Given Name" Box.

Please Note that it is mentioned on Passport as below:
Surname: Ali
Give Name (s): Muhammad Sajjad


Regards

Hi.

That is absolutely fine no problem at all. Surname is only one Ali and other given names are Mohammed Sajjad so you have written it correctly.

Cheers
Saki

Hello rnaaz,

I imagine you called them from outside Canada. When I had called them a week ago (also from outside Canada), I was curtly told that they do not answer questions of callers calling from outside Canada. The number that I had called is the same as listed on page 82 of this forum.
What number did you call?
Also share the IVR options to dial to reach a human. That would be really helpful.
Thanks.

Hi Sadika,

I believe the instructions (Checklist) has asked to send the photographs in an envelope. There are further instructions on how to send it.

Hi Maotaz,

6 months statement is fine but you need current letter from the bank as well. On the certificate the bank manager would certify the amount in your bank on that particular (most recent) day. Your current statement may be 15 or 20 days old... yours may not be. Also Managers add their contact information and mention that they can be contacted if any further information is required. Based on this statement VO can actually call the Bank or else they do not have any Authority to do so.

Sorry Moataz I derailed your plans again......you have waited so long to put together all your papers...couple of more days of delay will not make a difference unless you are close to 120d limit.

Mitali
