I just spent $120 as fees for applying PPC for me and my my wife at VFS Global today. Wish I read this before going! India as a Country is not listed as mandatory.

We will also do our own background checks in all countries in which you and your family members have lived. These checks will determine if you have any arrests or criminal convictions, or if you are a security risk to Canada.

Table 1- Countries for which police certificates are required

Algeria
Anguilla
Antigua & Barbuda
Australia
Bahamas
Barbados
Belgium
Belize
Botswana
British Virgin Islands

etc

*If you have lived in the United States, you must provide a state certificate AND a national FBI certificate.
*If you have lived in a country that is not on the above list, we may still do criminal checks on your behalf. We will contact you if we need more information.
*If other countries where you have lived are added to this list, you will be asked to provide police certificates before your application is concluded.

Hey, I wouldn't rely on the link you posted. For instance, Brazil is one of the countries that needs police checks but the link is not including it. Isn't it better to rely on CIC's website ? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

@ SIN0319 - Is your CC charged or Bank Draft Cashed?

I sent a money order to CIC, will I be able to check if it was cashed or not ? When I got it the lady in Scotia bank told me I can't verify.
 
Oh...is it?
But one of my friends who got bank draft from TD bank told me that he checked the status of draft by calling the TD's call center.

I also bank with Scotia Bank and to check the status of the draft you need to visit the branch. Their systems get updated weekly on Monday.

The Call Center (1-800-4-SCOTIA) cant provide this information.

Hope we need to attach PCCs from all the countries where we lived more than 6 months.
Even though this is not a mandatory document this has to be sent with the application, which will minimize the processing delays.
