Police Clearance Certificate

Express Entry PCC
104

Okay… Thanks Anshul. And what is the other option?

105

I don’t think there is: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/india.html

Maybe you can get it from India during a trip but since you’re not a Indian resident per say …I’m not sure how strict they are going to be about this.

I too have found the wording on CGI SF’s PCC page to be confusing. From your list of questions, I believe the fee is $27 and not $28. I am considering this application document to be authoritative.

107

Makes sense since the form says with effect sept 2017 then the fee you are saying makes sense. Too bad they dont update the info on main page

It has been more than 18 days since I sent my application for PCC to New York consulate, I haven’t received any update from them. They are not even replying to emails or phone calls. Any suggestions, what should be my next course of action?

110

Gotcha!

Thanks Anshul. I think I will do it at the Embassy.

111

It usually takes a week or two, but I think you may have to wait. If they have received your passport they’re probably working on it.

112

Did you get your passport?
I have sent mine last week through mail but there is no way to check if they have got it (it has reached them, but no idea if they have started working on it or not).Also they arent replying to emails and the phone number is always set to VM

113

Has anyone got their PCC from Atlanta Consulate. I have sent mine today, so just wanted to know their processing time.

114

FYI the PCC from San Francisco consulate is taking close to one month now.

115

Yep, I got the passport back. Try sending a message to this address cons.newyork@mea.gov.in.

116

Ok Thanks.i will try emailing on that address. Btw how many days it took you to get your passport in total?

117

Probably it also depends on the number of requests they are getting. Bay Area has a lot of Indians. Just a thought.

I am in the same boat, I was told it will be 4 weeks to get a PCC.

@kapilchandra What consulate did you send your passport to?

120

I went in person to San Francisco

121

Yes I agree - in the past I think at the SF consulate it was a 2 week wait for PCC but now its 4 probably due to volume as you say, especially with Express Entry becoming more popular now.

122

Has anyone sent their passport for PCC to NY lately ? My husband and I sent our passports at the same time 2 weeks before and while mine was issued in India, I got mine a day before, but his passport was issued at NY and he still hasn’t received any communication nor any update.

123

I emailed SFO consulate today as it was just over 2 weeks, I got a reply immediately which says "Please note that it takes one month to get PCC document issued, in case status is clear.
Please contact us in case the timeline is not met."
