Hey I also have the same status currently showing. Any update on what the process here is?
India PCC from Toronto
- Thread starter amala1611
- Start date
Hi, everywhere the processing timeline is between 1 - 2 months. Cases vary based on your local police station processes.
These only differences between a walk-in & postal application,
- Walk-In: You'd wait for several hours in line before getting inside & submit your file to BLS. After your application is submitted BLS would update your application status & send the files to Consulate in Ottawa by next day.
- Postal Applications: Everything happens Door to Door. You don't have to wait in lines & you receive the PCC back at your house.
- However, walk-in or in-person applications are 3-5 days faster than Postal because BLS takes some days to process the postal applications within their local centres. Then they'd send it to Consulate at Ottawa for further processing.
This status has many meanings,
- Your local police station has updated the application from their end.
- The SP Office would process the applications in bulk & pass-on the cleared PCCs to Embassy. (usually, happens between 2 - 3 weeks)
- Embassy would reach out to Consulate's and update the status to "PCC is ready to print".
Visit Indian Consulate on a Wednesday and request for printed copy. They might issue it. They will ask for due date of submission.

Hi Ahmedx, will wait for the 4 weeks to complete since the date of submission and then visit the CGI... Do we have to take a prior appointment

I do not think that you need an appointment. On Wednesday's they have open house, you can visit then.
Hey for Verification done as local police station - thy asked for my aadhar card and photo - Do you need to send someone to the local police station with this or do they come home and ask for it. I will need to make sure someone is home to give this. Please let me know. Thanks
