Need US PCC for staying 178 days in US?

[myriadhope]

Guys...
I need your advice.

I've traveled US for business since 2013.
I have visited 9 times and stayed 5~30 days each time.
If I calculate days that I purely stayed in US, it's total 178 days.
However, I'm not sure about the definition of 6 months that CIC mentions.
Is it 180 days?

How do you guys think?
Do you think I need FBI PCC?

Anybody who had in similar situation, Please give me advice
Thanks

Most likely, they will ask you to get one.. so, its better you start the process in advance.

It's close enough where they will probably expect it. If you don't provide it - or a letter of explanation - they could return your application as incomplete. I would recommend applying for it.

I second this. Play it safe and go ahead and request it. When you submit your application include the receipt for it and a LoE explaining you've requested it. CIC shouldn't reject your app as incomplete as long as they know the PCC has been requested.
