It is advised to send PCC just after getting AOR

I will suggest send your application then Apply PCC, once you get AOR send your PCC

PCC is valid for 1 year and now a days application is getting approved in 7 to 8 months.

So if your PCC should be there before VO access your profile then its good, else he will send PCC request along with MR

I am in a similar situation; so I would like to know what you did.
I submitted my application without PC, and received AOR, I have done my medicals too. Now, I have received my PC; should I send it to CIC or should I wait for them to ask for the PC? If I should send it to them right now, to which address? Sydney CIO, or Ottawa or elsewhere?

Thanks

Thanks for your replies. I actually asked them via email where to send the documents. They didn't respond after one week, so I sent the PC to the address that you guys mentioned. Know after a couple of weeks they responded to my email :mad: saying that I should send the PC to the following addresses:

Canada Post:
CPC – Ottawa
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON, K1G 4B9

Courier:
CPC – Ottawa
365 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa ON K1A 1L1

So I checked it out on CIC website, and as it turns out, the above addresses are for TRV applicants, not PR applicants! Now, I am both confused and worried. I checked the status of my application online, and there is no update regarding the PC, even though they have received the package a couple of days ago. Do you guys know how long will it take for them to update the information on their systems?

Both offices are CIC immigration offices. 365 Laurier is the central mailroom, while 219 Laurier specifically deals with residency application processing. In January of this year, I had asked them the same question and I was asked to submit documents at 219 Laurier.

Hi,
Since the answers to this question are old, can someone please confirm if I can send my citizenship application without the police certificate from my home country?
I am eligible to apply for citizenship. It has been 3 years and one month that I have been living in Canada continuously. However, since in the past 4 years, I was living in Iran for one year, I need to submit a Police clearance certificate from Iran in my application. I have applied for the police certificate and received a letter from Iran police office, stating that "The applicant has submitted her request for a police certificate from Iran on DATE and the process might take several months. The original document would be sent to the applicant's home address, when issued." I am wondering if I can submit my citizenship application with this letter and send my police certificate later when I receive it.
Thank you.
Zahra
