Got the PCC today. So it took around 20 days in my case.

Congrats. Is the PCC in Black and White?

Yes, its always BNW. Even eDO is BNW.

Yes, its always BNW. Even eDO is BNW.

Thank You. The FBI PCC mentions the Address. Will it matter to CIC if it has US address if you are not living in US at the present?

tks,

Nope. The address label (or the "To" address on the PCC) has no impact on your IRCC application - they already know where you are residing from your travel history/visas/entry-exit stamps.

Only page 2 is needed, as it has everything

Sorry to ask again but got no response earlier. Does the hard copy of the PCC differ in any way to a printed out version of the eDO pdf file meaning that we have to wait for the original paper copy to arrive to submit for citizenship? I know the old ones had some kind of watermark that showed up on photocopies etc but have no idea about these. IRCC states they want the original copy but surely a print out of the pdf file received directly from the FBI is technically an original?

On any case you have to scan the physical copy and upload to CIC for express entry so logically it doesn't matter since after scan it will be same.

I know but for citizenship applications it states that you must send the original in with your application by mail. I just wanted to know if the original that I'll get in the mail in X amount of days or weeks will actually be any different to a print out of the pdf they emailed by virtue of a watermark or other such things?

No. It's (eDO) identical to the paper application PCC (except for DOB, in case you opted for that when applying for eDO).

Also, FBI now prints the non-eDO PCC also on standard paper (not security paper), and in black and white.

So, no reason why the printed eDO wouldn't work.

Also, you only have to wait about a week from eDO issuance to receive a hard copy So, no harm in waiting, if possible. You can then do a side-by-side compare and then decide.

There is watermark on physical copy which is visible when we see in light.. do you have same in PDF which you got

Its not technically a watermark. Just a background logo. Yes, its on the PDF.

Seems same in paper. If you have time better to wait and see the comparison. I have seen cases where CIC is just rejecting if they found any thing different in PCC . I already had once my application cancelled for other count PCC . They are really strict on PCC part
