PCC from BLS Toronto - has anyone heard back?

[cupcakes]

It has been 4 weeks since I applied for my PCC at BLS Toronto, but the status messages still says "Under Processing at Consulate General".

Has anyone gotten their PCC recently? How long did it take?

I got mine in about 25 days. It takes 2-3 weeks for processing at Consulate General. You should get it back pretty soon I would say!

Hopefully by next week. Do you remember when exactly you applied (i.e. was it 25 business days)? It has been about 21 work days for me as of now. I'm worried as I have a flight to catch in about 10 days.

Your passport is new or old? My friend got old passport and he waited more than 3 months to get PCC in BLS Edmonton. They will send a request to India for police verification. They will issue PCC once they receive police verification report from India. My passport is new and I got PCC in 3 weeks time in BLS Edmonton. For new passports police verification report will be available to them online.

My passport was issued in 2011, so I'm guessing that's "old".

However, I got a PCC just before coming to Canada a couple of years back, so I'm hoping they already have my PCC on file, as I did not stay in India since then.

Thanks for letting me know. Did your status message on the BLS application tracker change, or did you just call BLS to see if your PCC was received?

I applied on 11th July and got it back on 8th August. I had applied for PCC at BLS Toronto in Oct 2013 also, and have not traveled to India since then, even then it took about a month. So for Toronto, it usually takes a month and doesn't depend too much on the passport. Once it shows in transit to BLS center, it will take only 2-3 days from then for you to get it. Hopefully you get it before you leave!
