I got my PCC in March 2014. Based on the new changes, is my PCC good (or) do I need to get a new one.

I got my PCC from Indian consulate (I believe an Indian PCC is valid only for 1year). Does anyone know the current time taken by the Indian embassy in Toronto to issue a new PCC ?

For CIC purposes, your PCC is valid for,

1. 6 months from date of issue if you live in India currently. (If you get an ITA and submit the PCC within 6 months from date of issue, you're good to go.)

2. As long as you don't travel back to India again if you've never visited India after getting the PCC.

If you haven't stayed in India for more than 6 months since March 2014, your existing PCC is good enough.

If you've never gone back, these would suffice.
