Guys is it possible to have rejections if the pcc is dated and not covering the whole duration?for example i used to live in ksa and visited bahrain a lot by car but rarely stayed over,then i moved and reside in bahrain right now,when i tried to apply for pcc from bahrain they issued me pcc only for the period i resided in bahrain and not before since i used to visit bahrain as a visitor and they. Cant issue pcc for visitors,so my question is will i face any issues because my pcc is dated or i will be ok since having a pcc that shows no past criminal record means that i didnt have any issues for the previous times i used to visit bahrain?also on the cic website they mentioned that cic will issue me a letter to obtain bahrain pcc but i tried without it and managed to have without any issues,so if they needed another pcc for the previous times maybe they will send me a request letter to use at the bahraini authorities right??should i be worried or send an loe via cse to explain the situation?anyone been in a similar scenario please???

"Note: This includes the requirement to provide a police certificate for countries in which the individual has traveled for six months or more, whether or not the individual had an established residential address during this time."

I think, you can submit a brief note via web form explaining your situation so that the processing officer doesn't cancel/reject your app based on your travel history [as it would show you visited Bahrain before the date mentioned on your PCC].
So do you think that i should send loe in cse just to explain that pcc is for residents only ???

In your situation I strongly advice to send CSE asap, with explanation and a proof of the rule that they do not provide PCC for visitors (government webpage or letter with refusal, if you got one).

I don't want to scare your but if they will see that you have traveled to this country for time before the PCC is dated, then they might have issue with that and not every officer is so nice to ask before reject :/
Please check the rule for obtaining PCC, which you can find on:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp
Maybe they already know about it, so it is not a problem but still send a CSE.

Goooood luck!

As ladybug8888 has also advised above, yes. Submit a brief CSE.
Include a line that you had the PCC ready and uploaded it with your eAPR, however, if IRCC needs a new one, as per country-specific requirements for Bahrain, you'd be glad to oblige.

If it would me I would send it, because I'm a person with limited trust in people and they abilities to do research before taking a decision :)
But it's about me, if you think that your explanation was comprehensive , then you should be fine :)

Well my explanation was detailed and i have one email with an automated reply and on the bahrain website its lists the requirements of issuing a pcc one of which is a residency card but nothing is mentioned about not issuing visitors,i only uploaded the loe though via cse
