Use BLs services here if you are not in city where we have consulate office. it took me 10days to get pcc for india while they were here in canada.

 

[calgary17]

okay that's a challenge. So he has to rush to India just to get PCC!
Thanks for your response.

I am sure many other parents are here visiting. Just wanted to check how you guys are getting PCC done from Delhi?

If your dad is here, he can get pcc from BLS/consulate of India.
It takes 2-4 weeks.

I have PCC to upload from Saudi Arabia for my parents it was issued when they left the country last year. What is the expiry date I should write while uploading the document online at GCkey ?

Indian PCC was issued last week, so idk , they don’t have expiry dates. I have two upload files button on gckey, one upload is for Saudi pcc and other is for Indian PCC ? and all pcc for mom and dad should be attached in one PDF ? Please advise ?

I don't think so they will exempt the biometrics.. I went through same situation.. I asked them in advance on call centre and they advised me that there is less probability to exempt biometrics if during the application submission their living address is not in Canada.. so after that I applied the US visa and I got an appointment at Calgary US visa office after 2 weeks.. got US visa approved .. and at the same time got a email from CIC to submit biometrics.. Went to the US to do biometrics and took only 15 minutes at USCIS application centre for biometrics.. And Yes there is an option to extend the deadline from 30 days to upto the date visa officers decides and it is done by contacting them through webform and explaining them about situation

Question for the experts,
After parents get PR,
is it 10 yrs or 20 yrs stay in Canada for them,
before they can apply for pension (OAS).

Hi there, my situation/timing is the same. Application package delivered to CIC on 25 June but so far no AOR. I contacted IRCC phone agents last week and was told that they have the application package and is in status of "Prospective", which means they have not yet reviewed the documents to assess if the application is acceptable for processing. I hope we both receive AoR in near future.

Regards,
Muk

10years

I am not sure about how many files they are processing. But looking at the previous years it seems like most of the files were processed in 12-16 months period with odd exceptions taking 24 months. I think the reason for slow down is to make sure they don't get too much ahead. Also, I believe the process will pick up again in January.

Same boat here. I'm so anxious I shouldn't have taken that long to submit the applications.
