It happened to me as well, use the same email address from which you received the email, email address is brampton.p@blsinternational.net

Many thanks for the note, @chhatbarjignesh. Did they send an acknowledgement once you sent the additional documents?

Many thanks, @Etzioauditore14. Is there a timeline, and a means to follow the status of the application once the documentation is complete?

Once they acknowledge your application as complete you can track it on the BLS website. They will send the application to CGI toronto which takes 1-2 days in theory. After that point you can track your application on passport seva website where you created your PCC request. I got an email when they initiated the police request. Not sure if the procedure is same in all cities but my parents had to go to the police station with their Aadhaar card and stuff. Takes a week or two for them to approve it from their end and send a "clear" status to CGI toronto. The last update would be of your PCC being printed, after which they send that to BLS. lastly BLS will send it via purolator and provide you with the tracking number on their website

I believe in my case also they followed the same process, below are the steps

1. BLS Acknowledge the application
2. Application in Transit to Counsolate (1-2 Business Days)
3. Application status changed to "Your application sent to Police station for verification, once verification is received from police station PCC will be available for issuance" (something like that)
4. Once you see the above status after 2 days if your Indian relatives did not receive any phone call from the local police station, I would encourage them to follow up with the police station that you mentioned in the PCC application this will speed up the process
5. Once they verified the process at the police station it will go back to Counsolate, in my case it took 4-5 business days once police verification is completed at the local police station
6. once it is done your status in passport Seva will change to "your PCC is printed"
7. once this status they will send PCC to BLS and BLS will send it to you via Purolator courier (this takes 1-2 days)

ITA is not the requirement although the purpose of PCC should be mentioned as it reflects on your PCC document. Photo and Sign was not aligning in my case too but they considered the application. My application was at CGI Toronto through BLS Brampton. Hope this will help you.

Bro I just got email from HCI Ottawa to submit ITA. i emailed them. Just to let you know.

Hi, Is it necessary to sign the application form for PCC in Black ink? I have sent my application by signing in blue ink, will that be a problem?

Hello everyone

Please help! I sent my documents to BLS Brampton and they replied the following...

Dear Applicant,

Your application is pending due to the following reasons:

-You are required to mention entry exit stamp on second page of application.

OR

-Provide declaration for a specific period and copy of educational certificates

Please fill, print it, sign on form and email us scanned a new application form as per the passport

In case of any further error in your Application Form or any Pending Documents, we will return back your complete application, so you may re-submit your correct and complete application along with correct documents.

Required documents are detailed under Document Checklist, in BLS Website.

I dont really understand what I have to fill again in the format to be honest. Are they asking me to fill question 20? I thought that was IF I went back to India after being here in Canada....

I am a Colombian who lived in India for 8 months, 12 years ago. Please someone help me! This process has been way too tortuous.
