Can you help me out
Just wanted to know what is the authenticity of this link as it was on Canada visa. Regarding police certification.


https://www.canadavisa.com/news/ircc-updates-police-certificates-requirement-for-express-entry.html?site=tw&cat=org

Prior to this update, an applicant was required to submit a police certificate from any country or territory where they had resided for a total of six months. This meant that an applicant who spent two months in a country, left and then returned to that same country a few years later for four months was required to provide a police certificate from that country.

An applicant is now only required to submit a police certificate for a country in which they have resided for six months in a row or longer.

My husband has been to indonesia from 2010 to 2016 for a period of 290 days but the stay has never exceeded the period of 30 days . He has never stayed consecutively for 6 months. So are we spared from the Indonesian PCC?

Please hElp

Please hElp
Ignore. He will need a PCC. IRCC counts all days cumulatively irrespective of how much of it was consecutive. If cumulative total exceeds 6 months, you need a PCC

From what @Nobatia said and what has been updated on the CIC website, you do not have to submit a PCC from Indonesia.

I'm guessing the page for 'Invited to Apply' has outdated info which IRCC didn't get around to updating yet, as it's last date modified is 2017-07-17. While the page I linked is the more recent one (2018-02-27).
