Can I apply with a PCC that is four month old?

[Tinkerbell18]

I am planning to apply for Express Entry pretty soon. I've been taking specialized TEF classes for a while and originally I intended to apply for my PR in February. Unfortunately, I failed my exam and then got busy with some other stuff. Recently I have passed my exam but the problem is that my PCC from India is almost four months old now. By the time I get an ITA it will be around 4.5 months old. Do you guys think that IRCC will accept it? I know about the six month rule but some people told me on Telegram immigration groups that IRCC prefers the latest PCC and that I will get an ADR if I don't provide a new one. Should I take the risk?

Hi what did you do eventually can you please share with me? I have done my India PCC in October and got ITA dec. But in between travelled a week overseas. Indian resident, applying from India. does that make my PCC invalid? Kindly guide I need to submit or do I need a new one? did you do a new pcc post travel?

Hello. Thanks a lot! Can you please tell me one more thing. I actually did go to Dubai on a tourist visa to meet a sick relative and then also to Sri Lanka for a few days. So will this invalidate my Indian PCC? Will I have to get a new one now?

Hello. I am in a similar situation and was wondering if you could please let me know what you did? Did you use your four months old PCC or did you get a new one?

I had a new PCC issued but if I were you, I would go ahead and file the eAPR if your PCC is under 6 months old. If IRCC needs another one, they'll contact you and then you can apply for it later on.
