Hello,
I am AOR: 4th Jun
IP2 & ADR: 25th Sep
FSW-O
During IP2, CIC asked me to submit a Police Clearance Certificate from Egypt in 30 days (deadline is October 22). CIC had not initially requested for a PCC for my stay in Egypt, which is a 5-month stay in 2010.
According to the Egyptian consulate in my home country, the process requires a minimum of 3 weeks (best case scenario) but could also take several months.
I am on a business travel in the US and won’t be able to return home to submit my PCC request to the consulate before October 22.
My question is: Do CIC expect me to process the PCC request immediately by all means necessary or can I put in the request when possible, even if it means I am getting very close to the October 24 deadline?
If I am unable to interrupt my business trip to immediately return to my home country to request the PCC, can I submit an explanation letter to CIC saying that I was on a business trip abroad till October 21 but that I requested the PCC immediately upon my return to Ethiopia and that the Egyptian consulate has indicated it would take xxx weeks to give me the PCC? Will they find that acceptable or should I not take the risk and interrupt my travel?
Thanks for your responses,
Hanna
