Question about PCC & U.S. travels:
I've only lived in the US for more than 6 months after I turned 18. I moved to Canada mid-2019 and got a Police Certificate from the FBI in early 2020. Since then, I've been back and forth quite a bit, but never more than 6 months at a time.
I'm currently in the U.S. doing my UofT master's (on study permit) remotely. I am coming back to Canada on May 2nd and planning on applying for the international grad stream since I have a prior degree from Canada and will be working starting May 3rd. Today I went to the USPS Post Office to do fingerprints for a new FBI PCC report and the PCC Report came back literally 5 seconds after I left the post office. I wonder if I will need to request another one since I haven't even left the US yet. FYI, my current stay was NOT over 6 months, and I already have an older report from 2020.
In addition to that ^ I do have family and friends in the States, and traveling back and forth is just part of my life. I wonder if I do apply for this stream, should I stop traveling until I receive my PR? That could be half a year at least, and I am worried I to miss out on family holidays, my best friend's wedding, etc. *I am a student currently working so I will have a valid permit for travels (even during the pandemic).
Thanks in advance for letting me know what you think.
