PCC for Citizenship

[ramansingh05]

Hi everyone, I landed on 21st Apr 2018 from India and then went back on 3rd Aug 2018. then after spending time there, I came back on 10th May 2021. So I am in the middle of applying my citizenship as I completed 1095 days in Canada. Now I see that it says that PCC is required if we spent more that 183 days outside of Canada in last 4 years. so in my case is it required if I apply right now? or should I wait to complete 183 days.
Incase I need to get PCC. anyone can guide the process of getting PCC from BLS Canada? I don't find link to submit online. also can we get one from India as well through PSK..

The last 4 years as of today : from May 22 2020 to May 22 2024. You came back on May 10 2021, a bit more than 3 years ago.
So, you spent nearly a full year in India (May 22 2020 to May 10 2021), which makes it crystal clear. That's more that 183 days in the last 4 years, so yeah you need one,. But you probably knew that already...

Thanks for your response. Can we get it from India as well directly or it can only be done through BLS Canada?

Official answer from the Canadian government website : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/india.html

This includes BLS, so in theory you can do it through them.
I'll leave the answer in practice to the numerous Indians of the forum.
