Hello everyone, I received ITA.
just want to know if we have submit a PCC for the stay in Canada?

 

[8638896255]

I am kind of confused about my status.

I received the ITA on April 9th.
It says "Invitation Received".

There is now a new entry at the bottom for Permanent Residency.
It says "Continue Application".

I was confused, because I thought, after I received an invite, I would have to accept the invitation?
It looks like it has just started counting down from 90 days.

Does this mean, that there isn't any "Accept Invitation" button, and the application process starts as soon as you are invited?

In addition to this, I have an Upfront Medical Exam Scheduled for today.
I was checking out the application this morning, because I was under the impression that I had to accept the invitation, before I could go to the Upfront Medical.

Am, I right to assume, that the identifying number I need to bring for my PR application, is the Express Entry Profile Number?

I have an upfront Medical Exam this afternoon, and I see that I need to get a new Passport Photo of myself taken.

Can any suggest a place in Toronto that still does this?

Any of the nearby convenience store should have option to take passport photo. I think most of the convenience stores selling food items would be open. Or may be try in walmart.

I think, you have option either continue application or decline application. There will be no separate accept option. Continue application means, you are accepting it, but you still have option to decline it if needed.
Upfront medicals can be continued.

My bad, I'm from Kitchener Ontario

https://www.propassportphoto.com/ - they're located in convenience stores all over the city. Some are open and some are closed (listed on their site).
I'll be checking them out in 20mins, so I'll let you know if they actually work out.

For Canada you don't need a PCC if you are here already. Its on CIC website too

This was fine, I was in and out in 5mins, and it was 10CAD for a passport photo.

I have concerns about my Police Certificates. I am originally from Ireland, but in the last 10 years, I have lived in a bunch of places for longer than 6 months. So, when I was applying for IEC in 2018, I included certs from: Ireland, Finland, Norway and Spain. Again, I got all of these in 2018.

Then, when applying for PR, I have reordered ones for Ireland, and Norway. Since, I have returned to Ireland since 2018, and I was applying for IEC in Norway, and there are many months before I left for Canada that aren't covered.

I have asked around, and people have said that since there is no expiry on the Finnish and Spanish ones, I can just reuse them. However, talking to my friend today, he told me that, to be on the safe side I should reorder all police certificates to make sure there aren't problems.

I have been under the impression for a couple of months now, that there isn't an issue with reusing the Finnish and Spanish Police Certs from my 2018 IEC application.

I've 77 days left on my invitation, and I can get another Finnish one quickly enough, but I think the Spanish one is more complicated, since I have to physically mail a request, and then get the certificate translated by a certified Canadian translator.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
