hiYes its probably better to get colored one. So i talked to allminwon again and they arranged the colored one ( by visiting a different police station).
And also, express entry rules w.r.t. PCC seem to have changed. They now need a PCC if you stayed in that country continously for 6 months or more. Though they say that they may still ask for the PCC if the trips are too frequent. So no harm in arranging one if you fall in this kind of scenario.
did u got the certificate in Aug2018 or nearby as they saying rule changed in Nov2017 not to issue to foreigners.
