Can NRIs get PCC from India?

[deardhir]

Hello,
I was searching on the forums, but did not find an exact answer to this question. I have submitted the request for India PCC in the Consulate in New York.

1. If they do not send the PCC on time (wrt. 120 days timeline), can I get the PCC from India?
2. Also, if I get it from India, then will the Canadian Embassy in Buffalo accept it as I currently live in US, but got it from India?

Thanks!

dhir,

i am truly bugged with your query.

what do u mean by getting the pcc from india? what do u mean by getting it within the time (120 days)?

All PCCs are provided by the Indian Consulate ONLY. ur application doesn't go anywhere. they do a formal check, mostly thru ur supplied docs, wait for a set period of time (usually 3 weeks) to get any reply from your home stn (city) AND give u the PCC on the Congendia Letter Head itself.

so, where's the worry ?

deardhir,qorux is right.No need to apply from India.
All Indian embassies and counsalate are bound to issue it all Indain national.
there is small fee for it and u have to submot your original passport
Hope I am clear

hi i have a unique situation.. i am the primary applicant under the express entry. Have reeceived ITA. i am told the application needs to be submitted within 60 days only. I am an NRI and so is my wife.. I am in Oman my wife currently is in India and will return to Oman only a month later. Can she apply for a PCC police clearance certificate from India itself or does she have to do it from the embassy in Oman.
