@Canad1anAl1en: Did you see the hyperlink I posted earlier? I am going to get some compelling (incriminating) photos from my mother in law's visit (she is here Wednesday), and send in an update

Guys,

When you received your email for PCC request for the second time, is it stated there that based on their records they don't have your PCC?

Yes it was the same letter quoted on here, that many of us got around the 10th of August, in a way if they are applying 6 months validity then in my case it would be correct, my cert was older than that on application...so I DIDN'T have a PCC

Looks like the CSE email router just woke up, and finally decided to start sending emails!

I got one about something I was concerned with like 2 weeks ago.. I think they need to fix Phoenix, so people can go back to doing their jobs.

Just got the same letter, in response to my CSE...it actually makes me feel a bit better about applying for a PCC over the weekend.

Just wondering - do either of you have copies of the original certificate with its date of issue on it and the date that you paid for it?

I would send a letter back with a copy of the original police certificate (if you have it) and the payment receipts showing the certificates date of issue AND copies of your letters from CIC showing when they received your application. Wouldnt this satisfy then their comment that i have copied below?

I would think yes - but im not the immigration officer.


If you already submitted a police certificate when you applied and you received a second request, please verify that the police certificate was issued no more than six months before you applied.

If you are certain that the certificate you previously provided met the requirements, please send an explanation letter to clarify your situation.

If the CIC are basing my PCC on the day i receive the EMAIL last August 10 for the second request, My PCC is 6 months and 1 week old from the date of issue.

4 months old when they received my inland application based on AOR.

i really don't know what to do if i received the same reply on email like that with you guys.

My $0.05 here (it's unsolicited -- so take it with a grain):
If they ask for a new one, and you haven't asked for one since you have been here, get one and send it. That's what we are doing. Then if they ask again, you can send a letter stating, "I have only been in Canada since the latest PCC was sent. The PCC covers the time until I left <country_XXX>."

Again, just $0.05

It states clearly...Issued no more than six months before you APPLIED..

If you got a cert in say May and applied in say August, then the cert would be 3 months old when you applied and valid...in this case a letter explaining this is fine.

In my case the cert was from Oct 2015 and I applied in June 2016..based on the second letter..no argument..I need a new PCC.

and on the first email they are saying that on their records they don't have your PCC, It's not stated there or asking about the PCC validity.
confusing!

Thank you canad1anAl1en. But i did not emphasized my letter about that. But i said my Application received last may 2016 and definitely they are going to check my PCC date of issue. My UCI is there too they can check it.

We had someone post during last week who was approved, application date 13th May..although opinion is they may actually have been a May the 3rd

Sorry, this one:

See the following news article (it's from June):

That means they are going to assess your case soon to see if they can squeeze you in before December. Same with us! Everyone who got the PCC should do as the CIC asks.

We're going to tighten up any concerns about genuine, with pictures of both family's BBQ'ing together Maybe a pic with my son too

Yes I read that, it can't hurt, obviously all this flurry of activity around PCC's and your link put together infers that those that comply with IRCC's request are being assessed/ would be assessed at that point for streamlining....lol, I don't believe it, my original "educated guess" post about the PCC request letters has been proven right, that it could be a sign of streamlining.

That's why I asked if you had read it . It should be uplifting for most. So we are going to do all we can to tighten up the only possible thing to slow us down (we are definitely not afraid of interview at all. but, interviews mean no streamlining!).

I might suggest the same to everyone. Looks like they have enough spots to get >= 80% of the applications that were in queue before June 13's message through before Jan 1.
