Dear friends,
I am devastated that after so much hard work collecting the documents and applying for ePR , got rejection letter from CIC with below text in the letter stating the INDIA PCC was not provided.
Dear XXXXXX XXXXXXX: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has reviewed your application for permanent residence. We have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of a complete application as described in sections 10 and 12.01 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. Your application is rejected for being incomplete. o The Police certificate from INDIA was not provided. This document is required based on address/background history for XXXXXX, XXXXXXX from 2011/XX/XX to 2012/XX/XX. It appears she resided six months or more in a row in that country. NOTE: You did not provide a letter of explanation and proof of submission for this Police Certificate. Note: A full review of your application was not performed.
But I uploaded my wife’s Indian PCC that I got from Chicago US Consulate. Please see the attached screen below from my application. I don’t know what to do now… Creating a fresh EE profile waiting for ITA and getting latest docs all over again is going to be very hard I put so much effort already for this middle of work. Even If I do so , what is the gurantee it wont be rejected again since as far as I know I submitted the PCC from both India and USA correctly …
I think there might have been some misunderstanding. I think they might not have checked the documents correctly. I do think you should contact CIC and clarify their response.
Thanks for your response Vignesh … I have couple of questions
For NRI s in USA , just the Indian PCC from Indian Consulate (in our case Chicago) will suffice right? Or should we get from India too if we were in India for more than 6 months in the last 10 year?
So is the CSE link below the only way to contact them?
If you had obtained Indian PCC for both of you and submitted both the documents correctly then this might have been an error from CIC. How long ago did you get the PCC? You should submit a request with CIC regarding this.
Rest assured that even if you had to do EE and ITA again, this rejection would not have any negative effect on that application. My application was also rejected at first because I stupidly did not submit an ECA.
Also, you don’t have to get all the docs all over again. You can use almost all the docs you have. Except maybe get a more recent proof of funds etc.
Hi Vignesh / Anshul - Thanks again for your time and reply … Really can’t thank you guys enough who take time out of your personal time and respond to such queries … especially at times like these !!
I have a good update, Got a message from CIC that it was administrative error and the letter was sent wrongly yesterday stating that the account was closed. It is reopened now and we are continuing to review the account" My application status changed from closed to submitted again now.
My biggest concern after getting the previous letter was “If I missed to get any PCC from an Indian Police station. But CIC s PCC requirement page clearly indicates, for Indian Citizens who reside outside India should get PCC from nearest consulate … Period !” … Thank God it was an admin error and they reopned the case … It was a total shocker yesterday … Feel much better now after the second letter …
Good to know they fixed it. Having met all requirements I think the outcome will be positive. Did they respond on their own, or was their note a response to your email?
No, only your highest degree gives you points. You need to provide ECA only for the degrees you mentioned in EE profile submission. I had submitted all 3 degrees not knowing this therefore they expected 3 ECAs which I didn’t have.
