Is PCC valid if I travel to India and get an ITA during that visit?

[mahimac]

Hey,
I am currently in Canada. I will get my PCC in start of December, however I plan to visit India in end of December and will stay there for 3 months. Meanwhile I should get an ITA in Jan based on the cutoff. Can I apply with this same PCC from India? Will this PCC be valid as it is within 6 month criteria?
Thanks

Your PCC expires as soon as you leave the canada

Only if live in India for more than 6 months.

For any other country
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

An officer may ask for a new one later on.
