Is my Indian PCC still valid for PR if it’s over 6 months old at submission?

[kb888]

I got my Indian PCC during a 3-week visit in January. It was issued on Jan 30, and I left India on Feb 13. I’ve been in Canada since then.

I got my ITA and will likely submit my PR application in about a month — which means the PCC will be over 6 months old by then. Do I need to get a new one, or is the current one still valid since I haven’t returned to India?

Thanks!

I dont think that same PCC would be accepted - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...services/application/medical-police/when.html

For any other country​

For any other country, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you resided there for 6 consecutive months or longer since the age of 18.

Some countries put expiry dates on their police certificates. If this is your situation, include the certificate. We’ll accept it if:

• it was issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 consecutive months or longer
• it is not for the country where you currently reside

IRCC may require updated documentation at any time during processing.

You don’t need to give us police certificates for any period of time before you were 18 years old or for time spent in Canada.

However your 3 week stay vs 6 months (As mentioned on official page) is debatable
