I am wondering if I need to get a Police clearance certificate. Since becoming PR I have only left Canada once for 30 days to visit family in India. I assume for 30 days travel no PCC is needed but let me know if anyone knows for sure.
If you have not lived in any other country other than Canada for more than 183 days in a row in the past 4 years, then you do not need a PCC.

So if you have left Canada only for the 30 day trip to India in the past 4 years, then you do not need PCC from India.

@Batman_is_Real - Here is the PCC requirements from the official site

Police certificate(s)

You need to provide a police certificate from each country, other than Canada, if you were there

  • in the past 4 years
  • for 183 days or more in a row
  • since the age of 18
Indicate in the chart the name of each country and provide a police certificate.

You don’t need to provide a police certificate if

  • you were in your country of origin immediately prior to becoming a permanent resident and landing in Canada, and
  • this time falls within the past 4 years
If you can’t get a police certificate, tell us why in the explanation box.

To be valid, the police certificate must be either issued

  • after the last time you were in that country, or
  • no more than 6 months before the date you sign your citizenship application
We may request a police certificate at any point during processing, even if you submitted a valid certificate with your application.
