Is PCC required for every country where the stay is more than 6 months?

Hi,

My name is Himank Kumar. I am working as a Postdoctoral fellow employee at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia from Oct 2016 and my contract will last uptill 30 Sep 2018.
I am a resident of New Delhi, India by birth.
I applied for Express entry under Canadian Experience Class from Halifax. I received an ITA for Permanent Residence under Candian experience class.
I have obtained a PCC from India.

(I have only traveled to Halifax from India in Oct 2016 and have not been in any other country anytime before)

Please suggest whether I need a Police Clearance certificate (PCC) from Halifax as I am in Halifax doing my Post doc from Oct 2016 (more than 6 months) as mentioned above?

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you,
Himank

All countries (not cities) EXCEPT Canada. So no, you not need to get one covering your time in Canada.

Also I believe the 6 months can be made up of a number of separate periods in a country totalling 6 months.

I am a resident of New Delhi, India by birth.
I applied for Express entry under Canadian Experience Class from Halifax. I received an ITA for Permanent Residence under Candian experience class.

Things that I have got with me or done recently are as follows:

1. PCC from India.
2. An upfront medical exam is completed.
3. Education Credential assessment.
4. IELTS score card

Is there any other additional document I would need to submit with my express entry application apart from the four above mentioned documents?

Any advice or suggestions would be highly appreciated. If there is any link where I can look into the checklist that would be very helpful. I could not find it on my express entry Log In page while continuing my application.

Thank you,
Himank

FIRST - I strongly recommend you remove your name and employer's name from your post

Second - YES, there is a lot of other documentation you must provide, see the link that monkeyspanner provided above. Most crucially, you need to document your skilled work experience, so review the section on proof of work experience...
