I had a question on Indian PCC. NVC have asked for this and initially I thought this was not a big issue just need to apply with the Indian consulate in Toronto since I live in Windsor and work in Detroit. At first Toronto India Consulate told me that all they wanted was the copies of the passport to be mailed to them and when the PCC was issued to come in person with the original passport for it to get stamped (In Fact thats how I remember doing it back in 2002 when I applied for my Canadian PR from a different Indian consulate).
However now they are telling me that they changed the rule and that you have to mail them the original passport and they will keep it with them during the processing of PCC for 4-6 weeks and then they mail it back to you which I dont understand why it should be necessary. Now normally that wouldnt be an issue but for my commuting back and forth between Windsor and Detroit. So how do I address this? I can probably get it directly from India easily but then I heard that NVC will not accept PCC unless its from the consulate servicing the area you are living. Can you think of any ways to get around this issue?
Thanks
