PCC from Indian police station

[Canadavisa07]

Has anyone applied for PCC from the local Indian police station ? Is that acceptable by CIC ?

 

[Andy2109]

PCC is not issued by any Indian Police Station but only at the headquarters of the State Capital under the authority of Commissioner of Police or Superintendent of Police.

Such Indian PCC's are acceptable by CIC.

Thanks Andy2109 for the information.

If someone got his/her PCC issued from the Indian State captial and has been accepted by CIC, please do let me know.

PCC issued under the authority of CP / SP is acceptable by CIC.
In recent times, PSK's (Passport Seva Kendra in India) has been offering the service of issuing PCCs.

Yes, I am aware of PSK's issuing PCCs. I got my PCC issued from the SP. Just wanted to be sure.

That's perfect. Go ahead. Tested and very much accepted by CIC.

Hi

Can anyone knows how long it will take to get PCC from PSK? i have applied PCC application online, want to know more details how to proceed further.
as i am going to India on vacation for one month, thought of getting PCC before i return back to Canada.

Thanks & Regards

If you have applied for the PCC in the same City where your passport was issued, it happens much quickly.

But in case your passport shows up a different address than the one where you have applied for a PCC, then it is a time consuming process.

Since you've applied for your PCC online, you must have received an appointment for a given date and time. Based on that, you can evaluate the time it would take. Please let me know once you check the same.

Thank you for your response Canadavisa07

I checked Advisory.pdf from passportIndia site, which says no appointment is required for PCC, i am travelling to India 2nd week of OCT, as soon as reach i will go to nearest PSK to apply. Will keep updating the post..

Appointment slots at PSK are only open for passport applications. PCC applications do not require any appointments.
Once after you submit application, you can just walk in.

But do remember, if your passport has a local address, you can get your PCC within no time. But if it has a different address than the city where you have applied for PCC, then it takes much longer.

Hi pg2203,

Hi All

Sorry for my delay in updating the status..

I have applied PCC on 22 Oct at PSK, inquiry was done on 26 Oct and got SMS from PSK to collect it on 28 Oct, finally i have collected PCC from PSK today i.e 29 Oct. It was pretty simple to get the PCC from PSK which i did not expect it will happen so fast. hardly it takes 1 hour at PSK to apply for PCC. Let me know if you have any queries..

I am returning back to Canada on Nov 13, as soon as i reach i will complete the application and submit by end of month.
