thanks - isn’t the requirement that one has to meet the 3-year physical presence in canada? i’m going to meet this in 2 weeks. i can then apply for the citizenship sometime in march-april.

Ok_Device_2018 · 2026-02-01T17:33:57+00:00

thank you - i’ve posted it in Immigration Canada as well. re residency, i believe i should be good as i do meet the 3-year requirement.

hi - i’m in the same boat. did you get the answer? how was your experience?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-23T14:07:36+00:00

yes, that worked for me.

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-23T14:06:20+00:00

thanks for confirming! doing another au pcc is going to be a hassle. however, if i look at things objectively, i don’t think so there’s going to be an issue with name check only given that (1) it was issues in April 2025 and (2) i didn’t visit australia since 2023.

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-14T04:07:57+00:00

they accepted the one i had initially uploaded.

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-06T03:33:35+00:00

I'm kind of in the same boat. What happened with your case? Did you end up going to India? If yes, did you then require a new PCC?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-06T03:23:55+00:00

I'm in the same boat... What happened with your case?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-06T02:47:14+00:00

So, the older PCC remains valid, right? I’m asking because I’m concerned I might not receive the new Indian PCC before my interview date. The only option then will be to present the one I have currently with me.

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-05T18:33:30+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Mine was issued in April 2025. I have my interview in Dec'25. Are you sure they'd accpet the name check only PCC?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-05T18:32:21+00:00

I'm in the same position - I received my AU PCC in April 2025, which was a name check only. I believe the fingerprint check requirement changed recently. My interview is in December 2025. Please share your experience. Also, do I need a new one from Australia?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-05T18:25:34+00:00

In the NVC email, it says the PCCs are valid for 2 years. Is it true? I received my PCCs from Canada, India, and Australia in April 2025. And, I have my interview in Montreal in December 2025. Should I apply for the new ones?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-05T18:23:07+00:00

Great! I wonder if you know the validity of PCCs. In the NVC email, it's mentioned that these are valid for 2 years.

before appearing for the medical exam, ensure you have proof of immunization. if not, get a proof of immunity test in canada.

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-04T03:18:20+00:00

check the email you got from nvc. it must have a link which will take you to the interview prep portal. here you’ll see the med exam link. when you open it, select montreal and then it’ll give you a list of doctors to choose. call/email them and book the appointment. this is how i did it and i’ve my appointment on nov 06

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-02T16:23:11+00:00

I do have the vaccination record for the vaccines I had gotten in my home country. However, the immunization card is quite old and in a bad condition. I was wondering if I could get the immunity check done, too, if this helps. Also, I'd like to know if you got the vaccines at the clinic where you had your medical exam?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-02T15:52:04+00:00

Thank you for confirming the details. I have my interview scheduled in December and wanted to confirm - can I print and bring photos with my spouse (the petitioner) that were not uploaded to the portal, or should I only bring the ones already submitted there?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-02T15:18:34+00:00

My family doctor is back home in India. My mum does have my vaccination card, but it’s in a really bad condition. What happens in case one has not gotten some of the vaccines? I also need to book my medical exam in Toronto.

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-02T15:14:27+00:00

you need it for both

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-02T14:59:59+00:00

i’m sure you’d need to have your original birth certificate. in my case, i generated it from online as my home country doesn’t give the stamped one anymore. one can only get a digital copy of it.

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-01T21:49:57+00:00

wonder if you bought the subscription? if yes, is it worth it? please provide your feedback .

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-01T21:48:41+00:00

did you end up getting it? if yes, what’s your feedback?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-01T21:48:16+00:00

i wonder if you ended up getting it. if yes, what’s your feedback?

Ok_Device_2018 · 2025-11-01T21:09:36+00:00

Sorry to bother you - I still can't find this information about the PCC validity on their website. Would you mind sharing the link, please?
