Express Entry PCC Question

[Bikkilicious]

Hi,

I live in Vancouver and currently on PGWP. I am planning to apply for PR after March as I will be completing my 1 year work in February.

I am traveling to India on Jan 28 for 25 days and will be back on Feb 22. I want to check if I can apply my PCC and go India? Does it still valid?

or would you suggest me to apply for PCC after I come back from India? or get my PCC from India?

Thanks in advance.

No, your PCC has to cover the last entire visit. If you get a PCC that doesn't covers your last visit, your application will be returned as incomplete. You can apply for a PCC via BLS upon coming back or once you get your ITA.

Absolutely wrong. IRCC clearly states that it has to cover stays for more than 6 consecutive months. Since OP is back in 25 days, the PCC stays valid

Rofl! Tell that to people who were rejected. The "6 consecutive months" doesn't apply to your home country.

Well I didn’t get rejected for my PR application and already submitted my citizenship application. So yeah, you do you.

People with misrepresentation also get their citizenships, doesn't justify "misrep". You have no sense of how anecdotal experiences can compromise someone's ability to migrate. If you think you are that right, are you willing to be held financially liable for wrong advice?

It's IRCC saying this, not me. Maybe take an IELTS exam to understand it

You think we've not read the link yet? I'm saying despite that, we see cases of rejection as the last stay should be covered. Also, the PCC link doesn't say about other things that lead to rejections too, doesn't mean that they are to be ignored.

@iSaidGoodDay is correct. The PCC from a country of origin or where you stayed 6 months should be issued after you left that country, if you visited it again, even for one day, you will need a new PCC .

@iSaidGoodDay is correct. The PCC from a country of your origin or where you stayed 6 months should be issued after you left that country, if you visited it again, even for one day, you will need a new PCC .

Since I visited USA for a couple of weeks, you want me to add PCC for that too?

 

[CanGoldDigger]

No, if you didn't stay there for 6 months and more before that.

 

[Siddharth_Jadav]

No, if you didn't stay there for 6 months and more before that.

But if I get a PCC from India while on a trip to India, I need a new one?

 

[CanGoldDigger]

The key thing here is the assumption that the one who posted a question was Indian by origin. And in this case, if he gets a PCC and visits India again, he will need to get a new PCC from India.

yes! The updated PCC requirement even when you visit for a few days is for your home country.

Exactly.
