PCC Validity (indian)

[Nish23]

Hey all,

What is the validity of Indian PCC? I have seen people saying it does not expire if you do not leave Canada but some say you have to renew it every 6 months!
My problem is I have already applied PCC 3rd time due to a pause of express entry draws. It was issued in March 2022 will it be good after 6 months or will I have to renew it again?

Thanks,

Why are you renewing it? Did you got ITA? The point is just to attach the recent one once submitting the final application after getting ITA.

No, I did not get an ITA but it takes about 6-8 weeks to get a PCC from BLS. So I did apply it in Advance. Is it okay to use one which more than 6 months old?

Yes I know but its validity is mostly 6 months. Usually you get 60 days to submit the docs once you get ITA. The moment you get ITA apply it with the latest PCC at that time and apply for PCC at that time. So if IRCC would ask for recent one you will have it. If not your purpose will be solved.
