Did you submit any PCC with your application?

Your PCC should be from your country of origin between 2006 - 2013 (given that you have not travelled home after then)
I don't think you need PCC from Canada

It should cover the entire period between 2006 to 2013 (longer if you've revisited your country since.). You need a PCC for every country that you have lived in for a cumulative period of 6 months or more. See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp for more details.

A few questions:

1) What is the issue date for your country's PCC? Is it before or after you left for Canada in 2013?
2) If it was issed after you left your country, did you re-visit your country after receiving your PCC?
3) Have you lived in any country other than yours (and Canada) for more than 6 months?

I have a question regarding PCC.

I visited Australia on business visa twice in 2004 .. each term close to 3 months with a gap of 3 weeks between 2 trips.

1st trip 89 days
23 days in India
2nd trip 85 days
returned to india

Do I need PCC from Australia? I didn't stay continuously for 6 months and also the total number of days is < 180 (174 days).

Please suggest. thanks

Not required.

Add an LOE to highlight (with date calculation) that you're aware of this requirement and didn't provide PCC as your cumulative stay was less than 6 months.

Thank you, you have answered my query.
I provided only two years 2011 to 2013 of PCC and CIC refused it stating that its incomplete. And yes i have traveled to my home country even after 2013 but did not stay for consecutive 6 month.So i think i did not need to provide PCC for that duration.
One think is for sure, I donot need to provide PCC from birth till age of 18 years , RIGHT.

Thanks in advance!
