PCC for Canadian Citizenship

[canadaqueen2025]

Hi I came to Canada in October 2022 as a landed PR. Prior to this I was in my country of birth. I have not been outside Canada for more than 183 days since landing. Do i need to supply PCC?

I read somewhere that if you were in your country of origin prior to being in Canada in the 4 year period prior to date of application, then you wont need to supply a PCC. However, there is a lot of ambiguity around this, so if anyone can share the IRCC guide link on this matter or if anyone in the same situation got their citizenship granted then it will be great. Thanks!

If you look on the form (the downloadable one), yes, it confirms in one of the notes that you do not need if any days outside Canada >183 days were in country of origin prior to landing as a PR. This is in the fields immediately around the number of days/PCC. I'll leave it to you to find it.

Look, since you're posting elsewhere asking - download the form, read it.

The answer is in section 10(b), in the text under the box 'list each country or territory below.'
