Pcc for Citizenship clarification

[tedMosby12]

Hi,

I have lived in India for a total of 188 days after becoming a permanent resident:

First visit: 30 days

Second visit: 158 days

Could anyone please confirm whether I need a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)?

I understand the requirement mentions staying in a row for more than 183 days. In my case, neither visit alone exceeds that threshold.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Thank you.

By the instructions, not required. If you decide to get one and include just in case, no-one's going to blame you.

IRCC might ask for one later - or not.

You coudl certainly apply without one and then go about obtaining one just in case. Or wait to see if they request one.
