Hello friends,
My wife received the Invitation to Apply for Permanent Residency through Express Entry (PNP), and currently in the process of gathering the required documents for the same.
I am already a Permanent Resident of Canada. We are asked to upload the my police certificates as well. As per the below link the police certificate "must be issued no more than 6 months before the date you submit your application" for the country where he currently lives.

1. Though my current residence is in Canada, I came to India on 9-Mar-2020 for our wedding that happened on 22-Mar-2020, and I have not returned to Canada due to the COVID-19 lockdown. My previous police certificate from India that was used for my PR application is dated 27-Apr-2018 and I have not stayed in India for more than 6 months after that. Should I get a new police certificate from India or the previous one in itself is acceptable? Basically, since I am stuck India I am not sure if the "country I currently live in" will be considered as India or if it is still Canada (which is where I earn, owna car and rent a house).
2. My USA police certificate used for my PR application is dated 25-Apr-2018. I was there in the USA till 25-Jan-2020 until he moved to Canada. Since this is more than 6 months, I suppose we need to take a new police certificate from USA for me. Please confirm.
Thanks & regards,
Gautam
