PNP PR November 2014 Applicants

[CanSask]

Medicals done on June 25 and today ecase updated with "Medical Received"

Hi Guys,

I have a question. I am a Ontario PNP applicant under the Masters Graduate scheme. I applied to CIC for PR (as an inland applicant) and my application got to CIC on November 12, 2014. I got my AOR on April 13, 2015 and got my medical request on April 21 which I completed on May 14. I got a request to pay my RPRF on June 24 which I paid on June 25.

However, when I filed my application, I did not give my PCC as I thought it would take time to obtain. So, since it was an optional document at the time of application, I filed my application thinking I will provide it when they ask for it. However, I am quite confused by the fact that they asked me for the RPRP but they have not yet asked me for the PCC. Can someone please help me understand what stage I am at in my application and what are the likely next steps? When are CIC likely to request the PCC?

Thanks a lot.

RPRF is asked when they are moving ahead with process. Next step is your background verification either PCC/RCMP. In my case lawyer asked me to submit along with the application itself. Since background/criminal check is must , will suggest they either have ur PCC handy.

Just out of curiosity, How many November applicants have received their landing fee request ?? Actually my consultant have given his email address on CIC application and he is sometimes a lazy ass, I doubt if he has missed the email. I will appreciate if November applicants please update their timeline..thanks.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I was under the impression that they ask for the RPRF after the application has been processed which is what had me confused - See this link for example http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/final.asp

I've had my PCC sitting with me since December and have been waiting to submit it when they ask for it - they just haven't as yet - and that's what has thrown me off by not asking me for the PCC - which I knew would have to be submitted - and asking me instead for the RPRF.

Any thoughts?

Hey,

Dont be misguided

RPRF is asked after the police clearance,,,yes.
If they have not asked you, it may b they wont ask for it...(in case they have not forgotten it)

You said, police clearance is with you from December
You cannot send a police certificate older than 3 months


once you receive the email, you ll see it..it shouldnt b more than 3 months old otherwise you have to get a new one as it is valid for 6 months only

Any update for NOvember applicant...i paid my RPRF upfront... but not yet updated on ECAS.

While reviewing my Schedule A Background Information form I found out that in section 8, my information on 4 month of my spouse are missing in the last 10 years. So I decided to resend the updated Schedule A form for my spouse ONLY. I have a few quick questions.
1. Do I have to re-submit my Schedule A as well?
2. The only thing that has changed in the main application is my Work Permit expiry date. As I applied for work permit extension after submitting the application and therefore my original application includes the March 24, 2015 expiry date and not the new one. Do I need to submit the application with new information on it? If I do not (just being lazy) would that cause any delay?
3. Can anyone from Edmonton guide me on how to obtain PCC and where to get fingerprints done at the lowest cost?

I am more or less in the same situation than justanordinaryguy, when you say have the pcc handy, could you (or someone) advice how long it takes to obtain it????

Sorry to be direct and I'm sure you're of good intentions BUT no where as per CIC is there a rule that says you cannot send PCC that's older than 3 months. The rule is ...it must be issued no more than 6 months before you apply. Here's the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp


In my case, I submitted my docs in October. I didn't get my PCC till NOv 22nd (over a month). I got AOR march 2015 (see timeline). I emailed CIC in march to inquire about where to send my PCC (not sure if it was Sydney of Ottawa). I was advised to follow instructions and wait to be asked. I was finally asked on July 2nd for PCC along with RPRF. No issues so far.

Hey, when i saY it- i mean it!
Read this "The certificate must have been issued no more than three (3) months prior to submitting your application. If the original certificate is not in English or French, then you will need to submit both the certificate and the original copy of the translation prepared by an accredited translator.

We will also do our own background checks to determine if there are grounds under which you and your dependants may be inadmissible to Canada"
and where ...here : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EP7TOC.asp
Open the link and read "Police Certificate section, paragraph 3
I am sorry to be direct TOO

This gives an opportunity to clarify and give the inquirer the clearest and most recent info. A few things

1) The link you showed is the recent update. Updated June 23rd 2015 (3 weeks ago), the date of the last revision is seen if you scroll all the way down on your link. The paragraph in your last statement is therefore what holds now

2) CIC will assess your PCC based on the rules in play at the time your application was submitted NOT when the specific doc is being requested

3) This is the important part - "PCC cannot be more than 3 months old" in your initial comment is different from "must be issued no more than 3 months prior to submitting your application". Very different. - For example, I submitted my app Oct, got my PCC November. I was finally asked for the PCC in JUly. The PCC is 8 months Old, It was still accepted. The reason is in the rule you copied ...the key being....it is from the date the application was submitted. That's the reference point. So the gentleman / woman stating the PCC has been in since december reminded me of my own situation - i submitted, no issues.

Whatever the case, your follow up at least affords the forum the latest info on the latest issue date validity of PCC
