I was looking at various causes of rejection in the consolidated eAPR tracker and I thought I'd make a list of them while I'm at it. I didn't include cases where explanation was lacking or non-existent. So here it is

My EE got refused due to there is no duties and responsibilities mentioned in the letter even though I provided paystubs, T4, NOA
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-13139

I declared having two Bachelor’s degree credentials as I earned One Degree n Three Diplomas. However, according to the educational credential equivalency assessment (ECA) issued by WES,I understand they have the equivalent of one Bachelor’s degree (four years) that is highest education degree. I mmigration Officer/s have recalculated my CRS points according to my actual level of education and my CRS score has fallen below that of the lowest-ranked candidate invited to apply in Round 53 of invitations.

(I contacted CIC using webform on 10th April, telling them about my PCCs are in progress.Then i uploaded my PCCs on 20th April using webform) (application got cancelled on 28th stating not providing full PCCs which btw i uploaded through webform)
https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/february-2017-aor-permanent-residency-tracker/cases/case-14669?p=2

The application was cancelled for being incomplete. We have provided a police certificate issued by the state police. It must be issued by the Brazilian Federal Police.
https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/march-2017-aor-permanent-residency-tracker/cases/case-17864

The reason is stated as incomplete application. The Kazakhstan judicial organs were not able to provide a police certificate in time, therefore I have sent after applying in March an official letter confirming that we have requested this police certificate, via case specific entry. However, the letter explaining cancellation said that they cancelled because they did not see this confirmation letter and therefore think we haven't made enough letter.
https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/march-2017-aor-permanent-residency-tracker/cases/case-16330?p=2

Uploaded only ECA and missed putting in the educational degree and they rejected instead of asking for the doc
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/march-2017-aor-permanent-residency-tracker/cases/case-18585

I lived in Chennai and Bangalore. The problem was I didn't get the PCC via the indian embassy but directly from the Chennai police. The PCC letter says they don't have any records of any criminal wrongdoing IN chennai.
So CIC got back saying that this letter doesn't cover bangalore, so the entire application is cancelled. the UAE PCC wasn't a problem
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/march-2017-aor-permanent-residency-tracker/cases/case-16658

The PCC I requested through the embassy was a certificate of good conduct ( same as the one delivered in the province I leaved) that is normally used interchangeable with the one delivered at the central office of Judiciary Police situated in the capital city ( Kinshasa) that issues an extract of the criminal record. Both are PCCs . The only difference is that the latter is only issued for immigration purposes and the first one for administrative purposes. I was not aware of the difference and neither is the officer at the embassy. It is only after the rejection letter in which IRCC pointed me to the correct competent office and the correct document that would be acceptable to them.
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-12515

my application was rejected and cancelled by CIC for uploading my son's birth certificate in the place of his travel document
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-14127

I live in the USA, and my FBI was couple of days over 6 months when I submitted the application.
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-15699

REFUSED DUE TO BLACK & WHITE PCC/Cased was cancel due to not providing Original Iranian PCC. I just provide certified true copy due to error.
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-15550

Got my application Denied because of a missing PCC. I thought we had to submit a PCC from places we lived in after the person completed 18 years old or from the past 10 years. I lived in Abu Dabi 13 years ago. I did not provided a PCC.
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-14150

My spouse has a PhD, and this one was written in Latin (it's a old university and they like to used the Latin language) so he requested to have one in English, and he had it. It was the same as the Latin one but just on the top : translated from the English. So when we submitted our case we just uploaded the English one and not the Latin one. That's explain the failure even if we had an EDE
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-15234

PCC Does not cover entire period of stay in india. That,s the reason they provided. Actually, I got PCC from SSP chandigarh and it mentioned my period of stay at current address. So, maybe thats why.
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-15595

The Police certificate from Pakistan that you provided with your application is not acceptable as it does not cover the full period of time spent in Pakistan during your first period of residence there. You have indicated in your address/personal history that you resided in Pakistan from November 5, 1987 to June 12, 2008. The police certificate that you provided covers the period from Birth to May 2008.
https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-15764?p=2

Reason for refusal is missing police report for 7 months in France
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-15949

Refused - police certificate not translated
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-18165

Refused because PCC from Kazakhstan was in electronic form. Paper documents were sent to CIC a week ago, but were not considered.
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-17306

IMM5562 requested Refused because if you add all my trips in yen years it's more than 6 months and I need a police certificate from USA
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-16622

During the past 10 years i visited USA several times, the total durations of these visits exceeded 6 months. So i should have added PCC for the US although the six months were not continuous!!
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-16932

My application was deemed incomplete as my police check was 6 months and 3 days old when I submitted my application. The cut off is 6 months for police checks. The delay in submitting was caused by work references coming through late.
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-17316

Application was refused as incomplete for lacking of US PCC. I have an MBA from an american university which was taught in Brazil. I selected US in country of education since the university is not a legal entity in Brazil. I don't know if that was the mistake (should have put Brazil) or I should have indicated something like "distance learning".
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-17251

They had pcc from police which only covers city from where it's applied. "Hi just got an update that my application is rejected becoz of my spouse PCC given only for last 15 years not from his entire duration of stay in India."
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-19760

Sent Brazilian state PCC instead of federal PCC
https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-18102

Rejected because 1 police cert was missing in the combined PDF

Very long but a must read post.

Most of the rejections are avoidable. Once you get your ITA pay attention to detail and submit correct documents.
Great post!

I have a similar case with the chinese PCC:

"The Police certificate from Pakistan that you provided with your application is not acceptable as it does not cover the full period of time spent in Pakistan during your first period of residence there. You have indicated in your address/personal history that you resided in Pakistan from November 5, 1987 to June 12, 2008. The police certificate that you provided covers the period from Birth to May 2008."
https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-15764?p=2

But i have explained it in the LOE, the period of time not covered in the PCC can't be changed as in China, for foreigners only the period of time with student/working visa is included, i have more than half year not covered because i was doing an internship with business visa. Should not be a reason for rejection, right?

Even though not explicitly requested, I scanned all pages that has some entry/exit stamping, visa stamping from different countries, my country makes an entry in the passport page when an official police clearance is issued for a country so for me those "remarks" pages etc. This I did for current and previous old/cancelled passport also. This was a voluntary effort and not mandatory. Why take a chance was my objective when I did it.
I did the same thing, I scanned every page that had a stamp on it.

I have a quick question though guys. I uploaded my PCC, which is in colour, a scanned copy of the original...no problem there. But I also uploaded the stamp of receipt of the PCC that was stamped on my passport, as proof of my PCC. However that stamp of receipt is scanned in black and white.

Should I be worried even though the actual PCC I uploaded with my application is in colour?????

Thanks

Hi All

I completed my Masters and was conferred the degree on March 24 , 2007 . However we had some post degree formalities for about a week or 10 days which is why i mentioned my date of completion as April , 2007.

Now my PG degree and Transcripts say MArch 24 2007 while the EE form says April 2007 . Is this an issue ? If so , how can i correct it

A ---------- PCC from USA (I am a US resident currently ) is valid for :

1) 6 months from the date of issue of PCC
2) 6 months from the date when I submit my profile EE
3) 6 months from when I receive ITA
4) 6 months old when I submit my documents

Please advise ?

B --------- For PCC from India, it should be only after the last date when you left from India. Lets suppose if I leave India on 18 AUG 2017, PCC should be issued on 18 AUG 2017 or later dates (it can be on same date as well). Please confirm.

C ----- I can visit any country any time after submitting my documents after ITA on my EE. And, I would not need to provide any PCC then for that time period ?

Dear all: I just received my PCC. have lived on multiple addresses since I turned 18, all in one city, (Peshawar, Pakistan). My PCC runs like this:

"There is nothing adverse/Criminal record against him/her on the record of local police station to date. Further verification on his permanent address maybe asked from home district."

There is no mention of the year from which I am in peshawar, mentioning only "Till date". Is that fine? Or should I ask them to put "since date of turning 18 till present date"

Also, do I need to get the PCC from district of permanent address also, even if not lived there since 18?

Please help.

Guys, I submitted the application with my Indian PCC in b&w.. The PCC had a stamp & signature in color though the text and emblem is in black.. I'm planning to raise a CSE and send them the copy in color.. Any suggestions if someone had this issue and got rejected earlier..

Hi seniors, i need some inputs here.
I had submitted all my documents then today I find a spelling mistake in my EOL, I put "load" while actually I want to spell "loan", would that be a reason of rejection.
Appreciate if you can share your thoughts here. thanks.

Hi Seniors

I am am Indian and have been working in the gulf countries from 2006. I was resident of Qatar from 2007 - 2008, then shifted to UAE in 2008.
I shifted back to Qatar again in the year December 2010 and worked there till April 2013.
The pages in my passport got exhausted in 2013 and I got a new passport from Indian embassy Doha in the year 2013.
After that shifted back to UAE and now a resident of UAE from 2013 to present.
Unfortunately I have lost my old passport which got expired in 2013 which has all the Qatar travel history.
I need a Qatar PCC where in they are asking for entry and exit stamp.
I only have Qatar exit stamp of 2013 in my new passport.
Please advice how can i proceed in the scenario.....

thankss

I didn't see a placeholder for submitting letter of explanation and it completely slipped out of my mind that I had to attach LOE while submitting my application. Disaster! Is there anyway I can send LOE? I'm so worried

Send a letter of explanation via cse asap and after try making a phonecall for cic to check of what you sent is uploaded,but anyways i believe that loe is optional if you need to further explain something so no need to worry,maybe other members can comment as well
