Dear forum member, I received police certificate request from CIC today to provide the certificate from 22 Sep 2017 to 22 Oct 2028 while I was at my home country. The problem is that I traveled to overseas a lot that year and didn’t stay at my home country for more than 183 days in a row (this info is not on physical presence calculator form as the form only asks days absent from Canada). What should I do? I believe that I don’t need to provide the certificate. Many thanks for your kind help!

The physical presence calculator also asks for location; did you state all locations, and further clarify the exact times spent in each location in a letter of explanation? Would it be difficult to get a PCC?

Hi John, many thanks for your reply. I replied to CIC and included the exact information of each countries visited, also attached my passport scan. Hopefully there will be a positive feedback from them. Thanks again!
