Please do not unnecessarily scare people here by spreading wrong information when you yourself are not completely updated on the issue.

PCC will never be rejected because of passport issue date being written on it. PP issue date is written to be most specific about quoting the PP No. with issue date so that there remains no ambiguity as to which PP is being referred to here. That's it.

As they say 'Half knowledge is dangerous'
Apologies. I thought this was from the regional police station (which issues time bound PCC). If it is PSK PCC then its good to go. Sorry for the confusion. Guess this helped increase my knowledge on the subject too. btw, are you applying from India?

CanadaWeCome.. I asked the question to merely confirm what tejasmhaskar said is incorrect. Posts like those unnecessarily cause panic in everyone's minds.

I am literally scratching my head over this.... and have no words... Emm my current passport is my fourth one which was issued six months ago, about to be stamped by CIC after PPR. And yes my country's Police certificate always wrote CURRENT passport's issue date on PCC.

I have had those years ago, when I came to Canada on work permit and had passport number now as well (a new one with a new issued date) FOR THE SAKE OF IDENTIFICATION.

There is no correlation between passport number being mentioned vs refusal on TIME RESTRICTED PCCs.

Guys,
Let me APOLOGIZE again. I mistook passport issue date for validity date. Lets end this right here :)
All PSK PCC are good to go!

That's fine :) - We all misunderstand things. I guess some body thought it was important, was mislead, and then it got carried away. Every body was emphasizing - merely because forums posts are latter read by others, searching for info, unlike just ordinary conversations. So correction here for future references too is important, that's all - Cheers!

Update:
=======

Being issued from PSK or another institution is specific to India. It is not the case with other countries.

The primary point was that either

a) Police certificates do not mention any address or time like (lived at address x from y to z)
b) If it does, then either it covers the full period since the age of 18 till last residence in that country Or this is covered through multiple PCs. Moreover, if address is mentioned, it should tele with the address history that people fill in their PR application.

If neither of above holds, it could lead to a refusal.
 
If the application is rejected, how long does it take usually? within a month or after 4-6months?

There is no specific timeline for rejection
but majority of cases were rejected within a month or 1.5 months.

There are very few cases which were even rejected after 4-5 months
 
This thread turned into Police Certificate Check rejection...
 
Hello everyone!

I am on the verge of submitting my docs to CIC after receiving an ITA.
But i have an issue.
My husband has credit dues from Dubai, where he lived for about 2 months.
He has a police cert, but it is old and now we will need a renewed one.
However, since he has missed some payments the banks have put penalties and large interests and again he couldnt pay the full amount, BUT he does pay monthly and we have a bank statement,. but he started paying them off these last 3-4 months. The bank has said they will file a criminal case against him and someone offered to check thru dubai- and apparently he does in fact have check bounces on his name?
So now the police certificate will show these liabilities and maybe the bank has filed this as a criminal case?
What are the chances? Do we get a rejection due to this type of a police certificate?
Please help!

PS. I have 29 days left to apply, and the UAE embassy in my country said that the police cert will only come in 60 days.

Has your husband traveled to Dubai after getting the police certificate you have?
If not, then that police certificate is still valid.

Otherwise you'd need to get a new one. I don't think that check bounces will be shown in Police certificate unless there's a genuine criminal case of fraud/cheating etc.

No he has not traveled to Dubai after his last police cert. He left 2 weeks after getting his police certificate. so if he got it 24november, 2014- he left Dubai 6 december 2014 and didnt go back. i can even show passport pages and visa cancellations. But i heard they still need a new one?

Since he was unable to pay them for 3-4 months they said its a fraud case and they have filed a case.
Our acquaintance did get it checked, it says it shows on his police certificate (check bounces) (but i do now know to what extent this information is true.)

Can't comment on the 2nd part of the issue, but i guess the 1st part of the issue of PCC obtained just a week or two before leaving the country for good is still unanswered by many experts on this forum including the CIC website.

I would be curious to know what happens if the PCC is obtained a few weeks (1-2) or say a month (max) before leaving the country for good and never to return there.
Will that PCC be acceptable by CIC?


Dear @gulhayo_a if the answer to the above is Yes, your 1st problem of PCC is also solved because in that case you won't need another PCC from UAE.
 
CIC has specifically mentioned that PCC should be issues after applicant leaves the country.
 
You said your husband has stayed only for 2 months in Dubai.
In that case, he doesn't need to submit a police certificate (if total period of stay is less than 6 months).

But I'm not sure if CIC will find out something in Background check.
