Hi, I have a quick question about using a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) for a PR visa migration I worked in Qatar for two years and obtained a PCC in 2022. Since then, I haven't returned to Qatar. I'm wondering if this PCC is still valid for my PR visa application, or if I need to obtain a new one. Thank you for your time and expertise."
Question.. I left UAE last Febraury..... I applied for security clearance online....but could not get it.... They ask me to visit them to get it...but I can not go again there... What I can do to solve this issue ??? Many thanks
Hello I have a question for the police clearance. I was in other country for 4years and went home to my home country and then started my PR application. And after landed in Canada as PR haven’t been in a country or territory for more than 183 days do I still need to submit my police clearance from My home country and the other country That I stayed?thank you
I was in India (home Country) until April 2021, Landed Canada in April -2021 on work permit, Got PR on July 15 2021, Applied Citizenship on Sep -15 2024, and never lived in India for 6 months after July 2021 , do I need PCC ?
nfused. Can u please answer my question. Before moving to canada i moved to a new place for a year. So my concern is your passport address should be the address of your residence before you moved abroad? Since i moved out from my passport address long back ,somoeone else is living there.
There is one case that is really ambiguous, let's say someone worked in say Germany (not-country of origin) for a couple of years, then moved to Canada as a permanent resident, and then after 3 years and 9 months of residing in Canada, they are applying for their citizenship. Will they answer yes or no to the citizenship application question which is worded as follows: "In the past 4 years, were you in a country or territory other than Canada for 183 days or more in a row (since the age of 18)?" While they resided for 183 + days continuously in Germany those days don't entirely, but only partially (90 days of 2 years) fall in the 4 year period preceding the date of the application. Only 90 days fall under the 4 year look-back period and not 183 days. To me the answer given the wording of the question, should be "No". But it's still ambiguous and given some folks on social-media mentioned they received PCC requests for such cases later, I'm not sure how the question should be interpreted.
This is exactly my case. I Lived in Japan for 17 years then moved to Canada as a Permanent resident and now after 3 years and 5 months I wanna apply for the Canadian citizenship but I have no idea if I need to get a Japanese PCC or I dont.
I came to canada on June 2019 on ICT work permit. I became PR in June 2021 I have mu citizenship application due in August 2023 do I need PCC as I travelled no more than 180 days anywhere after PR and I was in India my country of origin before PR and work permit
I have one small doubt. I have done my study in Singapore from Sept 2017 to Aug 2018 and stayed more than 183 days. I'm in the process of applying for OINP. Do I need a police clearance certificate from Singapore ? Please advice. Appreciate your help.
Hello Neha, one question about PCC requirement for canadian PR application. I am staying in Canada for last one year and got the PCC from BLS in June 2024. I have plans to visit India in August 2024 for three weeks. Can i still use my PCC for PR application?

Now they are asking me for an in person interview. l am in india for the past 1 year and not working, but returning to take the in person interview for which they have sent an email. Will there be police clearance certificate required from lndia as l have been here for more than a year. Will there be an issue as l haven'tbeen working for more than a year due family issues? And what should l carry for the interview and what happens afterwards? Thanks
My wife's country of residence is India. She is waiting for a spousal work permit, once its approved, she will be traveling to Canada. Meanwhile, if we get a PR invite she will be applying for PCC in India. Will the police clearance certificate become invalid if she travels to Canada?

Hi Neha, this is Abhishek and I live in Toronto on Open Work Permit since Sept 2022. I had a doubt regarding PCC for my PR application - the address on my passport is from Hyderabad where I was living before I moved here, the address on my Aadhaar card is from Delhi where my parents used to have a house (they've sold it and don't live there anymore), and my parents currently live in Pune on rental but I don't have any address proof for their home in Pune. It's a complicated situation, but which address should I mention for verification in my PCC form and how should I manage the address proof issue for that? Would appreciate any guidance on this, thanks!

Hi, Just wondering if you were able to figure out this as I have a similar case.
I did not, I got the police clearance to be safe and then applied. Figured it doesn't hurt to add it even if it would have been optional.
