Like @forw.jane mentioned you don't need the PCC in your case

See the following examples to help you answer this question.
Example 1
You lived in France for one year (365 days) before you became a permanent resident 3 years ago. You did not travel to France after you became a permanent resident. You would answer “Yes” to the question and you would need to provide a police certificate from France if you did not provide one with your immigration application. If you provided a police certificate from France with your immigration application, tell us this in the box provided at Question 10b.
Example 2
You became a permanent resident 3 years and 9 months ago. In the past 4 years, you lived in Brazil for 3 months (90 days) before you became a permanent resident and you returned to Brazil to visit family for 4 months (120 days) after you became a permanent resident. You would answer “No” to the question and you would not need to provide a police certificate from Brazil because you did not spend 183 days or more in a row in Brazil.
Example 3
In the past 4 years, you took 10 trips to the United States of America (USA). Each trip lasted 3 weeks, for a total of 210 days. You would answer “No” to the question and you would not need to provide a police certificate from the USA because you did not spend 183 days or more in a row in the USA.
Example 4
In the past 4 years, you travelled to Singapore four times for work. The first trip was for 30 days; the second trip was for 200 days; the third trip was for 60 days; and the fourth trip was for 120 days. While in Singapore, you took a trip to Malaysia (10 days) and Thailand (10 days). You would answer “Yes” to the question and you would need to provide a police certificate from Singapore because your second trip was more than 183 days in a row. You would not need to provide police certificates from Malaysia or Thailand.
Example 5
In the past 4 years, you took 1 trip to Europe where you visited Portugal (5 days), Spain (7 days), France (10 days), Belgium (3 days), Netherlands (3 days), Germany (21 days), Switzerland (7 days) and Italy (21 days). You took a second trip to Europe where you visited Ireland (14 days), Scotland (14 days) and England (21 days). You went to Germany for a business trip that lasted 60 days. The total time you were outside of Canada was 186 days but you were not in a single country for 183 days or more in a row. You would answer “No” to the question and you would not need to provide police certificates from any of the countries.

The form won’t automatically tell you, if that’s what you mean. You need to infer what’s needed for your application based on the guide that was linked to above. Speaking from my own experience, I submitted a PCC but was asked to send in another more up-to-date one because I left Canada shortly after becoming a PR and came back after more than 183 days in a foreign country and the PCC that I had submitted did not include that length of time (it was a PCC that I had used for my PR application so it was issued before I had made the PR application).

I wasn’t suggesting you did or even that you need a PCC. I was trying to explain that the form would not automatically prompt you for what’s required just as it did not for me. Read the guide and figure out what you need to submit.

Hi @abbas.pasha - I got PR in Mar 2018 but left in Aug 2018 and then I landed back in May 2021. So I did completed my 1095 days but I was out for more than 183 days so I guess I needed PCC. Could you pls guide me how can I get it from India.
Currently living in Ontario. Pls help
Yes PCC to lagega.. BLS is one option, other option is if you have family/friends in India and if they can apply for PCC on your behalf in India could be another possibility...
