India Police Clearance Certificate(PCC) - PR Outland Sponsorship

[Kush.k19]

Hello folks,

cc - @armoured , @his*marty , @canuck78 , @scylla , @legalfalcon , @Leon , @Bryanna(if you can help direct my Q to the right person, if you are unaware about this)

I am a Canadian PR for over last 3 years. I recently got married(Apr 9, 2021) and have to file for my wife's outland PR as soon as I reach back Canada.
However, I am really confused with PCC right now. My wife's passport is of Vadodara's address and she is living with me in Pune.
As per the Indian Passport Seva Kendra, I need to re-issue my wife's passport with Pune's address and then commence her PCC at Pune PSK. However, it is becoming impossible to get a date at Pune PSK as they keep cancelling the appointment owing to the COVID restrictions and thus delaying the entire process. I need urgent help with the below please -

1. Should I wait for dates at Pune PSK and have her passport updated to Pune address and then get her PCC done from Pune itself (as per my experience, a rough estimate of close to 2 months - dates availability + passport re-issue + PCC issuance) ? OR
2. Should I plan a travel to Vadodara and have her PCC done from there ? I believe there the PCC appointment can be booked and as her passport has Vadodara's address, ideally her PCC can be done from there(she can plan to live there until she gets her PCC so that the police checks and all can be done). This should be less time consuming as the dates are easily available there plus the passport won't require a re-issue.

Kindly, let me know at the earliest as I need get her PCC done at the earliest so that I can carry it with me to Canada to file her PR.

Thanks in advance,
Kush

I unfortunately don't know much about how they process PCC in India. I didn't realise you would have to go to a specific district. Are you able to order a PCC online?

You can get a PCC form any PSK where you can get an appointment. If the Pune PSK is adamant on change of address, just get it from Vadodara.
