QSW visas these days seem to take between 9 and 12 months from the time they receive your application, so it will probably be a few more months before they ask you for your passport.
Did you submit your police certificate with the app? If yes, then there is nothing else for you to do. They do all the checks from their side. However, if you didn't submit the police certificate(s) with your app, expect them to ask for it soon. Best of luck
Hey Rafa,
There you are :). I have a few questions brother?
I sent my package for PR to Sydney Case Processing Centre, Nova Scotia, on 17th of May, 2016. I see on the CIC Website they mention that
the processing time is 14 months.

Question 1: Is the processing time 14 months from the date of receipt of AOR, or the 6 months required to generate AOR is included in the
processing time of 14 months itself? So, Either the processing time would be 14 Months or 20 Months. This is confusing.

Question 2: My lawyer keeps asking me to provide police certificates for Saudi Arabia, and India. However, Unlike Sweden(who require only
fees paid to Swedish Police to give a P.C.C; Saudi Arabia and India require "Documentary Evidence or Supporting Documentation
from the Embassy which requests/demands for P.C.C. for the Applicant in question.
Also, It is clearly mentioned on the CIC website that when the CPC opens the respective Applicants file, they themselves will
send an official email as mentioned below: (Extract from CIC webpage below).

"A police certificate request letter will be sent to you by mail after your application for Permanent Residence has been received. You
must present this letter, along with valid identification and proof of legal residency in Saudi Arabia to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If
they approve you, the letter will give you the address to the police headquarters where you must go and apply in person.

For applications being processed at any other office, request letters can be requested by e-mail: riyadh.visa@international.gc.ca or
fax: 966-1-488-9657. Please include the file number, the office where you applied and your mailing address.

If you are applying at the Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, UAE, you should submit a police certificate with your application. You can
contact the visa office for a request letter at fax: (971 2) 694-0396 or e-mail: abu-dhabi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca. Please
include your immigration file number if you have one.

Also for India, The Indian Embassy, Riyadh, and the Police Headquarters in India are each asking for "Documentary Evidence" i.e.
"Supporting Documents" from requesting Embassy, in order issue P.C.C's to the Applicant in question.

Now, How can I god damn bloody obtain a P.C.C without a "Requesting Letter" from Canadian Embassy which addresses to all
the countries from where the Applicant stayed for 6 months or more.

For example, if a person has stayed for 6 months or more in 5 countries, then it is the duty of the Canadian Embassy to provide
5 request letters, One for each country in question, and for each applicant and spouse totalling to 10 request letters.
Why ask for P.C.C., when the establishment seeking P.C.C for applicant in question cannot provide Request Letter.

Crazies man people are. And, you know
the funny thing. One of my friends went to collect P.C.C. from one of the Police Stations in Saudi
where I live, and the Police Officer was refusing to entertain handing over the P.C.C to him until and unless he gave him
documentary evidence for the same. Getting a P.C.C is not like entering a Supermarket, and paying money for it. There is
a process of exchange of documents from the Embassies of countries to facilitate this requirement for the applicant in question.

Another case of a friend of mine when he went to request for P.C.C from Saudi Arabia, the Police officer irritated him by saying
"Why do you guys want to come to our Country in the first place, when you want to leave after all". First, they complain why
we are in their country, then they complain when we want to leave their country also. Oxymoronic is the Middle East really.

Clock starts when they receive your application.

About PCC's, I'm afraid I don't know much about the Indian or Saudi systems, but I'm sure you'll find more than one thread here where they've been discussed. In general, if you haven't submitted the police certificates with your application, you should wait until they -CIC- request them. At which point you can ask them for these official letters for any authority that requires them. I'm sure they are familiar with the requirements (luckily, it's not an uncommon scenario) and will accommodate you.

Best of luck with the process and the bureaucracy ;)

If you live outside of Saudi Arabia:
Certificates are available only to current legal residents.

If you have current legal residence status in Saudi Arabia, follow the directions above for citizens of Saudi Arabia who live in Saudi Arabia.

If you do not have current legal residence status in Saudi Arabia, you are not required to provide a Saudi Arabian police certificate. If you are asked for a police certificate from Saudi Arabia, write: “I cannot provide a police certificate for the time I spent in Saudi Arabia because certificates are only available to people who have current legal residence status.”

Do you know if your doctor sent the medical reports to Sydney or Ottawa? My visa office is Sydney too. But my doctor was mentioning about sending the reports to Ottawa.

I didn't ask her. Why to Ottawa if the office is Sydney? Did you do the MR? The office will send a form to give the clinic to fill it and send it. This is administrative thing.

Hi Eddie87,

Some countries issue only one Copy of the birth Certificate, if it is your case, you need to make a copy and put a TRUE COPY stamp from the concerned department in your country or if you are ouside you can do it in your embassy.

In some other countries, they issue a family book, then you can get as much as you can of birth certificates.

You cannot send non Original or True certified Copies

Dear Experts,

It would be really so grateful if I can get your valuable feedback on my following concern.

I have got the CSQ on Sep' 2015 now preparing for the federal part. I was in USA since Nov, 2014 to Mar' 2016. I went there on a visit visa then applied for study on Apr' 2015 which got approved on Feb' 2016. My student status is supposed to commence on Apr' 2016 but I came back from USA on Mar' 2016. Therefore all through my status in USA was tourist & legal. Now my query is I can't mention all these in the application form.

Therefore, will it be good if I give a "Letter of Explanation" proactively regarding my stay in USA (along with copy of supporting documents) in my federal application. Or I will just simply follow the standard forms and mention my status in USA in the respective fields on the form.

Thanks for your kind advise & I really appreciate this group & all the members.
