PCC required or not

[Jaywalker]

So I will be applying for citizenship next month (March 2023).
4 year history - Dates back to March 2019.

I was in India from Feb 2020 to Jan 2021. More than 6 months period. Now when I applied for PR and got approved I was in Singapore. We were in India for 2 months before we came to canada in feb 2019. So India was my origin country before I became PR. But at the time of PR application I was in Singapore. I have submitted India PCC as well during my PR application. I am an Indian citizen. So I am not sure if I need PCC from India again or not for citizenship application?

I wanted to let you know when you posted previously also that you need to rephrase the question such that others don't need to do the required calculation. Did you stay outside Canada for more than 183 days in last 4 years or not? Quote number of days than the dates. So it makes easy for others to answer your question. Your case seems to be kind of straight forward. But what is your confusion/question in relation to Q10? Your case is not similar to any of the examples in the application guide?

Yes I stayed outside the country for more than 183 days. But I am not sure about the country of origin thing here. Also pls don’t school me about what needs to be put and what not. I have stayed here enough time to know how this forum works. Thanks

I think you need PCC as you stayed outside Canada for more than 6 months after becoming PR. Country of origin case is applicable only before you became PR.
