This is wrong. My passport was issued in Toronto. I have applied for PCC 2
Months back and the cops did visit the local
Address in India.
could be wrong as I said most likely shouldn’t happen, but it’s discretion of consulate to initiate police verification.
interestingly they do police verifications for 8 year old kids on passport renewal, so you can judge how great the entire process is

I have to apply for India PCC from Toronto.

Have a few questions:

A) Do they click photos at the BLS center? How much do they charge?
B) Do I have to take an appointment for submitting? Can this be submitted through post?

B) Do I have to take an appointment for submitting? Can this be submitted through post? You don’t need appointment , you can simply walk in to BLS or you can courier your documents to BLS through Purolator.

Hi All

I am about to apply for PCC, I reside in Greater Toronto Area. Can you please tell
1. Do I need to apply in Toronto or Ottawa Jurisdiction? Does it help in speeding the process if we select a particular jurisdiction?
2. I recently got new passport during my visit to India and I stayed there for more than 6 months. The address mentioned there is now vacant and nobody resides. Can I fill address as my parents address? If so, do they visit the passport address or address I mention in application form?
3. Which police station should I select? The one which is nearer to my parents address or my permanent address( passport) police starion?
4. Will the Indian police officer visit the mentioned address or my parents have to visit the selected police station?
What documents should be submitted to support the address issue.
Looking for help, thankyou

-Toronto jurisdiction. If your local proof of Address is within GTA you cannot apply from Ottawa

Isn't PCC given by passport office even in India wherein police is just assigned to provide a clear report?

District police in India can give police clearance certificate and in the certificate police mention that nothing adverse is against the said passport holder. They mention issue and expire date of passport as well as passport number. Now question again is whether that PCC will be valid. On cic site in Express Entry section there are four ways to obtain PCC. 1. PCC from District police. 2. Passport office of India. 3. High Commission of India. 4. BLS. AS BLS is taking too much time, can we submit PCC obtained from district police while applicant being in Canada.

Hi, I need to get PCC from Indian Consulate. However, no one lives at our home address in India and I don't have relatives/neighbours I could reach out to for this either as I left the country many decades ago and only visit occasionally for travels. So, how will they do local verification if our house is locked and there are no neighbors or relatives I can lean on for this? Is PCC not provided to people who are alone in the world?
Hi, Were you able to get PCC from India? I am in a similar situation.
