No you don't need it unless the visa officers ask you to do so

Quick question:-

If we are applying for a PR from within Canada (we are planning to travel on a TRV & WP) do we still require an India Police Clearance Certificate?

Thanks,

Hi,
you need the PCC from all the countries (except Canada) you lived in for more than 6 months after the age of 18.

Applying PR within Canada doesn't require PCC from Canada. How ever if you have stayed for 6 months any other place then your country for citizenship, need PCC from all countries .

To clarify, you also need the PCC from your country of citizenship.

If you didn't stay (lived) in your country of citizenship for more than 6 months after the age of 18 you don't need the PCC even from there.

Technically, by the rules, yes, but CIC will ask for it anyway -

Not always. CIC didn't ask the PCC from my daughter (from the country of her citizenship).

CIC requires police certificates from all countries you lived in for more than 6 months after the age of 18 except for Canada.

Exactly.

Ok that clarifies my doubt. I will need a PCC at some point of time during the process. Better get one done.
