Hi there! If you don't mind me asking. Would you happen to know if any residency dates are required on PCCs from Pakistan?
the format in which my police cert was issued it did mention my residency years, since I only lived permanently in on location it didn't matter to me, anyhow you only need 1 x PCC per country and it must be issued after you left the country.
In that case, I left Dec 2018 and got a PCC made in June 2019 (it has expired now). I went back to Pakistan for 14 days Dec 2019. Can I submit the PCC I already have? OR would I have to get a new one?
Please review below,
Date the certificate was issued
For the country where you currently live
The police certificate for the country where you currently live:
- must be issued no more than 6 months before the date you submit your application
- must not be expired
For any other country, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row.
Some countries put expiry dates on their police certificates. If you have a police certificate that expired, include it. We’ll accept it if:
- it was issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row
- it is not for the country where you currently live
I have highlighted the important parts. Technically you can submit since you didn't stay in Pak for more than 6 months in a row since its been issued. As you are aware how our country is, I am almost certain they will ask for new one, so if you can get a new one.
Thanks again. Alright, then I might as well get a new one made. Now regarding the same issue:
- I have lived in 2 places in Pakistan. The wife has lived in 3 places. Before moving to Canada, our address (current Pakistan address) was in Islamabad. Before that, it was Rawalpindi for me and Lahore for my wife.
- Would we have to get PCCs from all 3 cities? The expired PCC I have was made by Islamabad Police for both my wife and I using our current Islamabad address. I always thought that this is the only, country-specific PCC required by CIC.
What did you do when you first came to Canada, did you do all three? Getting police cert from 3 different addresses sounds ridiculous tbh, and yes you need police cert per country not per address. I am sure you will be fine with one address as long as it cover you from your 18th birthday or last 10 years which ever is recent till you left to come to canada.
May be someone else on forum can help you with that or get in touch with IRCC and inquire them.
That is really unusual, you are from designated country, they always ask for PCC, were you sponsored by your employer?
My employer had to get an LMIA for me before I could use it to get a WP. I was ready for it but CIC never asked to present it.
Oh I see, I would recommend to contact IRCC about it and make a thread here I am sure someone will help you out. I believe one PCC is enough
That is what I think as well. CIC asks for a country-specific PCC. And all my non-Pakistani friends over here are telling me that all of them only had to submit 1 x PCC for their applications. I will have to talk to the Police and see what they say. I will update the thread when I have more info.
