If the Indian consulate is refusing to give you the PCC, you may have no choice but to go to India to get it. Once you're in India you can easily get it, and then you'll have to wait there for a year while the sponsorship goes through.

Canada allows you to apply under the Spousal Sponsorship even if you're out of status, but you cannot apply without the PCC.

how were you out of status for 3 years? do you mean to say you were here illegally?
when i applied for post graduate work permit i made a mistake in my application so it got returned by the the time my study permit was expired.so yes now i am illegal.

thanku for your reply. the problem is i cannot go back to india as i got married against the will of my parents so its not safe. i read somewhere that i can submit a explanation letter explaining why i would not able to submit a PCC and/or submit a local pcc from my state from india. but i am not sure if CIC accepts that

Exemptions are only allowed in extreme circumstances. You can expect your app to be returned if you don't include the PCC.

So why would you even have to see your parents if you return to India. It’s a big country. Don’t think they will give you an exemption for that.

CIC won't accept an explanation letter. You must obtain the PCC to be approved.

Yeah, that's not a credible explanation. They will not accept your application without the PCC.

Sorry about your situation. Can you try getting PCC through some third party in India without going there?
