Hi everyone,

I got my ITA under CEC Express Entry on 10th January. I don't have my PCC yet.

I was going to go to India on 15th January.

Scenario 1:

Can I go to India, get my PCC from there, upload all documents from India and submit my PR application from India and then come back to Canada?

Is that possible?

Scenario 2:

I make a request on BLS for my PCC, leave for India, come back in 1 month, and upload all documents from Canada?

Basically I have to go to India for a month right now, and trying to figure out a way around this.

All your help will be appreciated

Thanks in advance :)

You should get your pcc from your local district police station because they will provide you the pcc in a week after you left India. while bls takes more than a month.

PCCs are always tricky! Scenario 1 is the best way forward as long as you submit the application from India! PCC taken from India cannot be used to submit from Canada.
PCC must be applied from PSK not the district police and it takes about 2 to 3 weeks for the physical letter to come in.

I've confirmed with some applicants who got their copr with district police station PCC. Worst case scenario is IRCC will request for new PCC from PSK at later stage but I am in urgency to visit India and I have to submit application with local district police station PCC. CIC also mentioned at their website that PCC from district police station is acceptable.

Do confirm with them if they ever stayed in multiple addresses in India or just the one address when they got the PCC from district police. IRCC does not ask for ADRs for PCCs unless the criminality expired due to covid processing.

Also, you can submit your application without the PCC with proofs of your appointment from BLC (appointment after your India trip) and an explanation of your emergent travel to India (LOE) and that BLC takes a long time to process. IRCC is quite aware of the long time that PCC takes for each country.

Address on PCC should be the same as on passport right? And PCC must be issued after my departure from India which I confirmed with local police station and they will provide me the PCC in 5 working days after I leave India.

I lived on two different addresses in India. If I get PCC for two addresses then there will be any problem? Because both addresses have same local police station.

New one will be required. Travel after submitting your application.

You can use that PCC because your stay in your home country is less than six months.

Hey guys, After living in Canada for 5 years (Graduated and worked there for 2 years), I came back to india last year and working here full time. Yester, I suddenly got ITA for PR. So, I am confused that whether to get PCC here and then got to Canada or first leave for Canada and get my PCC from there. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!!

Get your PCC in India, its takes 2 months to get from BLS Canada. As you are still resident in India, you can apply and get it faster.
