if wont be costly, get it now and if they ask you for it within 6 months then you can submit ,if not then you request it again and email cic telling them its gonna take more than 30 days due to x y z reason! im pretty sure they get that a lot as you wont be the only one facing this situation.

hello, just a comment on this:
the PCC has to be "issued no more than six months before you apply" but is valid for one year, at least that what CPC-Ottawa told me

good luck I know it is frustrating to wait for official papers to be done

I go with what i see in written as i can go always revert to that if they screw up ! i dont really trust what an agent tells me because i would never know what he ate that day

have anyone got a communication in email about their application which was suppose to be sent to their current residence country, and it was sent to Ottawa?
Any reason was found?

like i mentioned to you in the morning ! you are not alone in the boat ,i am having the same issue too ! they had maintenance between 6 and 7 am ! and there is something not working which most probably have been reported couple of times but you can be proactive and report it yourself too if you would like .

Thank you, random hero. I had not understood from your previous comment that you yourself are experiencing the same thing. I was afraid that I alone am experiencing this.

Of course, I was proactive. I called CIC two times about this already. I also submitted through webform the description of the problem with the snapshots of the error. I really hope that they attend to this ASAP. The reason I am in hurry is to see the messages that are sent. I know that CIC's requests are always time-sensitive. Thank you anyways for your responses.

If I'm sponsoring my mom and dad and my wife and child is listed in the application as my dependants but not the co-signer...how many people should I put down in MyCic to link the application?

2,3 4 or 5?

Good news to the applicants for NDVO ;D
My parents did Medical test on Sept. 2nd and today their CIC status is showing that Review of medical results "Passed" .
Looks like they are also in the race to close many files by the end of this year and also for PPR pretty soon.

Good luck all !!!

Did you mail your documents to new Delhi (PCC)? If yes, can you please let me know the address?

The general observation is that the applications workload is balanced between Ottawa and LVOs of native country. It is random, but probability of Ottawa office is high for parents visiting Canada.

For your PCC from India, you may contact BLS to process it for you. It may take 4 to 6 weeks though for them to process it. Alternatively, you may check with state government if someone in India can submit PCC application on behalf of your parents. For Punjab, it is possible to have representative. For Chandigarh, it may not be possible. Every state is going by their own rule. The PCC can take longer if the parents stayed at more than one place for 6 months.

@Daniala, @random hero, I am in the same situation as you guys. Got those 3 message notifications in email, but now unable to log in into my account due to Internal Server Error 500. Have you seen any progress after you reached out?

No progress. I tried creating new GCKeys. Out of 3 that I created, two of them have the same problem. Please use IRCC webform to report the technical issue. Everybody with this problem has to report it t increase our chance of getting it fixed ASAP. Let us not forget that this is working for some folks. When I called CIC this morning, the agent was saying that they are not aware of any issue with my CIC. So, it is important that we all use the webform and report the issue.

So out of the 3 you created, 2 had the same problem, what about the 3rd one? were you able to locate your messages in the 3rd one then?

I did not continue until re-linking my application. I was afraid that it might screw up the whole thing. I am keeping this as the last resort. I am hoping that in the day or two, the problem gets resolved. However, it all depends on how many accounts have this issue and how many are going to report this.

Have you seen anybody getting access to the former messages of an application by re-linking to a new GCKey?
