Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding validity of my Indian PCC. There is a lot of confusing information regarding PCC's on different forums so I just want to make sure. Here is my scenario- I got my Indian PCC from BLS Toronto in Dec 2022. I received ITA on 11 Jan 2023. I travelled to my home country (India) for 15 days in Feb 2023. Is my PCC still valid for express entry?

Yes it's valid, you visited India for only 15 days , anything less than 6 months, you don't need fresh pcc

Most consultants and even Visa officers are in experienced.

So it's upto you

I sent you the extract from cic website, show it to them
Yeah I think I should be fine. Still applied for new PCC just in case if the visa officer might ask for a new pcc
