If you can upload it in cic account then do it that way. I couldn't upload so i mailed mine instead
pcc is i think only valid for 6 months or a year and i read somewhere that if you are submitting a pcc upfront it should be 3 months recent. you can send your translated pcc however and attach a note to say that a new one is to follow. i think some people have done that but i'm not 100% sure.
i would say yes. along with your uci and app number the letter would say your application was received. next thing you would generally expect is a pcc and schedule a request.
Congratulations on SA! Next is approval in principle (AIP) which often happens soon after SA. After that will be Decison made letter (DM), but you should expect this letter close to the one year mark. You might get lucky and get in sooner. After DM is the landing appointment letter.
Actually i sponsor my common law partner. We included the pcc in the application package coz we got already from our relatives before we submitted it to IRCC. My problem now is if i didn't linked my account online does it slow the process? Is it really mandatory to linked or it doesn't make any difference? Thanks
the IRCC prefers that applications are linked. But it is not necessary. However, they will communicate with by email or by physical mail through the mailing address reported on the application.
Thanks sylvain1!
