@legalfalcon hi please i hve a question. the ircc gave me ADR and two months to get a PCC from a country i was stuck in during the pandemic. i have applied and tried various agents to get the PCC but the authorities are not issuing because i wasnt a resident so i dont have a resident number they insist they need to issue PCC for foreigners, this which i had originally explained to the IRCC when submitting my application. They are also not even given me a correspondence to say they are not issuing which i can show the IRCC as proof. all i have is proof that i applied over a month ago. my question now is , what do i do? and do i take action now and respond to the IRCC or wait till the 60 day period for the ADR lapses?

If you are unable to obtain PCC from a country you can inform IRCC and list in detail all steps you have taken. Also if there is any public info where it states that you need a resident number such as government website etc. you can quote that too and explain that you are not a resident and this a PCC cannot be issued. IRCC will take this into consideration and process your application without the PCC.

As per IRCC:

The officer can exercise discretion when assessing whether police certificates that do not fall within standard IRCC parameters may still be required to process the application. When necessary, an officer can use discretion in their determination of whether or not a client is admissible to Canada by using other documents or mechanisms that are available to them.

Some countries will not issue police certificates to applicants, and instead will only communicate directly with the relevant Canadian authorities. In such cases, existing IRCC procedures to obtain documentation should be followed.

The IRCC website provides instructions to applicants on Where to obtain a police certificate.

In exceptional circumstances, IRCC may accept both of the following:

  • proof of having requested a police certificate for some countries; and
  • an explanation of best efforts (not a guarantee of acceptance)
    • In this explanation, the applicant should explain the delay in a document and upload the document in the country-specific field. The uploaded document must show that the applicant requested a police certificate as soon as possible after receiving their invitation to apply.
In such exceptional cases, the client will be advised to upload a document into the upload field stating country-specific details that support their explanation of best efforts.

no i went on a tourist visa but the lockdown there was very strict and i happened to be stuck for about 3 extra monrths before my country was able to get a repatriation flight out for me and other foreign nationals stuck there. not really comfortable putting the country on the public forum.

Check out below link you might need a less sophisticated certificate ... or not cannot tell.
However it is mandatory requirement to pass criminality, you have to provide sort of evidence to proceed.

Corona virus has devastatingly confused our affairs. Wish you find a way around please keep us posted if you don't mind.

Best of luck
