Thank you!

But IRCC can still ask for it as USA is not your home country. As per rules not needed but IRCC can still ask for it.

Makes sense, thank you for the heads up. An unrelated question - I am seeing some one mentioning about fingerprints. Is it mandatory that everyone will get Fingerprints request? And can we give them let's say from other Country like US?

Need info on PCC for citizenship:
Eligible for Citizenship Application : 3rd September 2025
No of applicants: 2 (Husband and wife)

Want to know if any of us need PCC with our situation below:
I applied for PR from Qatar in Feb-2021 (for which I had submitted PCC from Qatar and India), received approval for PR in May-2022. Entered Canada in Aug-2022. Never been out of Canada for more than 6 months since then.
My wife applied for PR from UAE in Feb-2021 (Submitted PCC from UAE and India), moved to Qatar (on visit visa) in Oct-2021, received PR approval in May-2022. Moved to Canada in Aug-2022. Never been out of Canada for more than 6 months since then.
My wife was in Qatar for 8months prior coming to Canada but after submitting PR application. Moreover, we had same application for PR.
Could anyone tell me if we have to arrange PCC from Qatar? or is it considered as country of origin prior migrating to Canada?

Thanks in advance.

Not mandatory but select few do get it. It used to be allowed but now you need to do it in Canada.
