Question about PCC & validity if you re-visit a country

[Apoorva_1987]

Need help !!
I am on work permit in Canada and will be completing 1 year in October. I was arranging my documents and have got PCC for me and my spouse.

I am planning to visit India in the end of November, and come back after 4 weeks.

If I get an ITA in October, I would like to submit the application before my visit to India.

Question -
Will the PCC be invalid if I visit India after submitting my application?

If you stay in India more than 6-month, you should get new one and send to IRCC by webform. Other than that, it will be valid.

Hello, I received my ITA on Oct 10, 2023. The deadline for my ITA is Dec 10, 2024.

I have applied for my PCC in India on Oct 5, 2023 (before ITA) and it is still in process. If I don't get my PCC before Dec 10th (ITA Deadline), I am uploading a letter of explanation.

I am planning to visit my home in India for a month Dec 24, 2023 to Jan 25, 2024). If I still don't get my PCC before Dec 24, 2023, can I travel to India and would my PCC be valid after I come back?

Please advise. Thanks

Your PCC is valid unless you stay more than 6-months outside of Canada.

Your PCC is valid unless you stay more than 6-months outside of Canada.

Thank you for your quick response.

But can I reenter India before the PCC is issued to me? I had applied for it though and its in process.

Hi there,

Quick Question!

This year, I spent 45 days in India, and during that time, the Passport Office issued my PCC as per their process by visitng the office, giving biometrics, picture, etc.

In less than two months, I was back in Canada, obtained my PNP nomination, and a few days later, I submitted my application for permanent residence.

Is the PCC I brought back from India sufficient, or do I need a new one?

Thank You.

Hi Sam2023,

I think you should be fine however, please double check with IRCC and the Indian Embassy (https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/sampark/enquiry.php?sid=3) I hope the website works, if not, just Google Sampark Enquiry form and it should guide you there
