India PCC from Toronto

[Ramesh Mokkapati]

Hi friends,
I applied for Pcc at BLS last month,but it's rejected due to adress not matched with passport adress,my passport adress is Bangalore adress,but no one lives there now,I left Bangalore after approval of my work permit ie 2020 Feb,my parents lives in other state(Andra Pradesh),I mentioned my parents adress as my permanent adress.
So now my question is,can I apply again with passport adress (Bangalore adress) and explain about my situation? or suggest me what I can do now,your valuable reply and suggestions helps me alot, thanks in advance.

The BLS website instructs that if your address or any other details on the passport need a change then you would need to get that done first. Once your passport has the right information, you can go ahead and apply for your PCC. It is going to be a pain and will take longer but that is what you will need to do.

That depends on Juridiction. If it's Toronto, it allows the different address from the passport as mentioned on BLS site as well.

My wife PCC application is in the process for the last 12 weeks, consulate customer care told me that police verification is pending however local police officer confirmed multiple times and also confirmed from headquarter that my verification documents were successfully submitted in May (~15th) so it's almost 4 weeks and I have no idea where is my application. The consulate team keeps telling me that it's pending from the police department.

Please let me know if anyone faced the similar issue or we have any other escalation process. Also my status on the consulate website showing blank which is also very surprising.

That's weird. I see that the checklist for toronto actually states quite clearly that one would need to get the passport corrected first. Not sure if the website states something else elsewhere. Very much possible since I have seen conflicting info in different places there for other things.

No, it's clearly mentioned in the checklist. I have gone through this process with different address. Passport reissue is required only for other details which are not correct/updated (except address). Address can be different as mentioned in last para towards the end.

In case, there is a change in present address from Indian passport and in case of addition/deletion/change of spouse name (due to marriage/divorce/death post issuance of passport) will be verified with regard to present address proof document and marriage/divorce/death certificate

You are right. I stand corrected.

I also had the same issue, my passport has a Canadian address. When I applied, I submitted the LOE, stating, for Indian address proof please refer to the attached Aadhar card copy for me and my father. But in this case, your parent Aadhar card address and your Aadhar card address should be matched.

At Passport Portal

Mar 31 : PCC application along with fee details have been received. The same is under processing at the Embassy/Consulate.
Apr 5: PCC application is under review at Indian Embassy/Consulate.
Apr 6: Police Verification has been initiated and a request has been sent to Indian Embassy/Consulate. PCC needs to be collected from the Indian Embassy/Consulate where the applicant applied after a 'Clear' Police Verification Report is received at the Indian Embassy/Consulate.
May 12 : Police Verification Report is clear. PCC is available for issuance.


My police verification was done at home on Apr 13. Since then it has been a never ending chase going back and forth from talking to local police, embassy, BLS and so on.

Hi, mine status also showing Police Verification Report is clear. PCC is available for issuance.
Now whats the next step and is it in Canada Consulate general?

Hi, thanks for your reply, What should I do now?even my aadhar also having my passport adress,what if I apply by passport adress with LOE stating that my parents stays in other place and attaching their aadhar copies,if this doesn't work,pls suggest me, changing adress in passport is not a easy step,if only option to change adress on passport,pls explain me the procedure, thanks in advance.

Do you have any address proof same as your parent's. I had similar issue with different address on passport from my parent's. I submitted my voter ID and my parent passport/aadhar with same address. BLS and consulate accepted it and police cleared it last night..

I think faster option is, put your passport address and ask your friends to get police verification clear from the same local police station. Otherwise you have to go with either Aadhar address change or passport address change.
Try if you have your voter ID card with your parent address.
