Hi,

I visited India during covid from March 2020 to Sept 2020(more than 183 days) and later I took PCC from BLS Canada in Nov 2020 and applied for PR and got it in Sept 2021.
And later in Nov 2022-Jan 2023 I visited Indian again, so now in Nov 2023 when I am trying to apply for Citizenship, it was asking if I had spent more than 183 days in the last 4 years, so I answered Yes( as I was in India from March 2020 to Sept 2020) and its asking me to provide a PCC.

Do I still need to provide a PCC?

I got a PCC from local District police station from Commissioner of Police and can I use this PCC for my citizenship application, it has the below context

Code:
This is to certify that Mr. ABC S/o DEF age 28
years, R/o 5-1 XXXX, 503XXX, holder of Indian Passport No. XXXXX, issued by RPO HYDERABAD on
27-11-2015, has not come to any adverse notice during his/her stay period (From DOB
To 14-11-2023) in XXXXX State, which would render him/her ineligible for grant of travel facilities including for the purpose of Immigration Visa to Canada.
**Valid for 6 months only from date of issue

Check the examples for Question 10. That should answer your query.
