But the OP mentioned that the PCC states a from - to duration.

If the PCC is issued after his last visit but the date range does not include his "non resident" period, would that be an issue? (Ie if he gets a new PCC today and the date range in the pcc is the same as before (dob to 2009))

whats an OP ? :)

i have not seen a PCC which actually includes date range - thats probably becoz you applied for PCC from a police station... (i could be wrong however)

anyway let me see if i understood your question correctly.

PCC says you are clear from 1st jan 2006 to 1st jan 2016
PCC was issued on 2nd Jan 2016.

if you have not visited the country (above country should be country of origin only, not country of residence) since the time PCC was issued, then it should be OK.


personal opinion - if possible try to get PCC from passport office, it doesnt mention address or even date range... and its accepted by CIC.

'OP' = 'original post'.

The police clearance was obtained from a consulate(instructions from CIC's website).

The date range is standard on the PCC of the country.

The date range specified, for example from 19xx to 2010, is the time I was a non-resident citizen. The PCC was issued this year, 2016. I did visit the country after B as a non citizen. The number of days did not make me a "resident" which is their minimum for issuance of a PCC. for the period after 2010 I was a non-citizen non-resident, for which they do not provide PCC.

Surprisingly there's a US government website which acknowledges this situation as well.

thats interesting, if you have copied the clause directly from CIC site i'm not 100% sure what it means...

however for you its quite straightforward... your case is almost the same as mine.

Country A - Country of residence
County B - Country of origin

You need to apply for PCC for both Country A and B. And for both countries you need to apply from Country A only...
Usually PCC for country B (Country of origin) is applied from consulate or the passport office...
thanks for your time +1

But, what about the dates for Country of Origin? Should I apply until my last visit which is just one month during Masters or until the first time I left the country for Masters?
