Do I need any Police Certificate of Address B of the following dates as well

Please guide.

Thanks.
Dear
I am from Pakistan and I have been living in UAE for past 10 years since I was 24

I came to UAE in 2008 from Karachi

I gave them my Police certificate for the time and location I lived in Pakistan till 2008 and CIC has accepted this certificate .


So you have to provide Police certificate for the place you LIVED not visited, if you have LIVED at a place for more then 6 months continuously you have to provide a certificate,if you want more info inbox me.

Hey,

So did you visit Pakistan anytime after 2008? If yes, I presume the visit period was less than 6 months so you didn't require another PCC from Pakistan post 2008. Correct?

Thanks.

I know about the permanent address, but the question is I traveled for one month to Pakistan and rest 11 months I am in Canada, do I need the Police Certificate for that one month that I stayed in Pakistan as well?

Thanks
For one month stay you dont need a PCC. You only need a PCC if you have lived more than six months in any country.

Dear members: I just received my PCC. have lived on multiple addresses since I turned 18, all in one city, (Peshawar, Pakistan). My PCC runs like this:

"There is nothing adverse/Criminal record against him/her on the record of local police station to date. Further verification on his permanent address maybe asked from home district."

There is no mention of the year from which I am in peshawar, mentioning only "Till date". Is that fine? Or should I ask them to put "since date of turning 18 till present date"

Also, do I need to get the PCC from district of permanent address also, even if not lived there since 18?

Please help.
That would be fine, multiple addresses doesn't matter. What matter is the dates which you have lived in Pakistan after 18. That must be mentioned and you are good to go.

Hi,

I am also in similar position. I have been living in UAE since 2008 but never spent more than 6 months in pakistan since then. my last visit was from September 2016 to Jan 2017 which is less than 6 months. So shall i get PCC until 2008 or 2017?

Thanks for your reply in advance.

Dear all:

I got my PCC for my present address. However, as my PCC has a line that says "Further investigation maybe done from the permanent address". Now my permanent address is another district where I have my ancestral home but never lived there since 18. However i got one PCC from there too, but now confused whether I should upload both the PCCs or only for the present address. I am afraid adding PCC from permanent address might cause me a problem as I have not mentioned it in my address history but is mentioned in my PCC of current city. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi. I need a little help. I have lived on 3 different addresses within Karachi city of Pakistan since my birth (never lived anywhere else). The PCC issued in Karachi shows only two previous addresses and they dont have space for 3rd address. I have checked with police but they are saying its a standard and if i try to get 3rd address on PCC as well, embassy might think its fake.

Now my dilemma is that if i show most recent 2 addresses, it will cover me from my 21st till 32nd birthday only while canada wants coverage from 18th birthday :( Im perplexed as what to do now :( :( :(

Rules for PCC often vary according to the country of residence. My Pakistan-specific experience is that one certificate is enough for the whole country (and not the separate certificates for each address that you changed). I lived in multiple cities in Pakistan for work and family reasons but got one certificate from the city of last residence which only covered like 10% of my adult life in Pakistan), and it was accepted. EDIT: I just read another post on a similar topic and it seems like that gentleman's application was rejected because his PCC didn't cover the whole period of his adult life in Pakistan. So take my case with a pinch of salt and be safe. Read his story and some good input by others here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/refusal-police-certifcate-need-help.495324/

Though it did work, I later figured that it was risky. It was my temporary address, and not the permanent address in deep-country. Remember, there is no universal system of "proof of address" in Pakistan the way it is in more refined economies like Britain and Canada? The only common proof of address in Pakistan is your NADRA ID card which can contain two addresses: permanent and temporary. Safest bet, get a PCC from the district of permanent residence.

However, you should ensure that if you have visited Pakistan (or any country) after living abroad then your certificate must have been issued AFTER you left Pakistan for the last time. No matter for 2 weeks or 2 days.
Bro, please guide me, I have ID card where my Permamant address is not changed, I mean I was born there but left the place before 18th Birthday abd my current address is not the same where I reside now. Its not updated since 2013. what can I do now? Tell me what is written on PCC? is it address? or what?
