Query about Police certificate from Pakistan (if studied for 4 years and was an overseas Pakistani)

[sam06]

Hey guys. I am very confused. For immigration we need police clearing certificate from countries stay in the past 10 years for 6 months or more consecutively.
I was in Pakistan for 4 years of undergrad but parents and I had residency of MiddleEast (Iqama). I used to go back to Middle East during winter and summer break that is after every 4 months.
Do I need to get pcc from Pakistan for this time period than?
Thanks!!
Help would be appreciated

Depending on how you enter your residency in Pakistan, the system may or may not ask for the PCC. Even if it does not ask for the PCC upfront, a VO can request it at a later date, and you can be sure that it WILL be requested for Pakistan.

"Example C: Several short stays in another country

Lailah studied in Spain between 2014 and 2017, for several 4-month study periods but she did not stay there for 6 months or more in a row. The system will not ask for a police certificate, but an officer may ask for one from Spain after she submits her application. To avoid delays, Lailah could ask for a police certificate from Spain and submit it with her application."
