Hello everyone,
I landed in Canada in August 2018 and planning to apply for citizenship soon. I will complete requirement of 1095 days stay in November 2021 (as last year I went back to home country India for couple of months).

my question is -

1.) Do I need to submit the PCC from my home country with my citizenship application?

2.) how recent should PCC be and in how many months it will expire if I apply for PCC in advance now.

Thanks.

If you’ve been living outside of Canada for more than 183 days since becoming a permanent resident, then you need a pcc

thanks for your response.

Before landing in Canada as a PR, I was living in India.
I did submit the PCC with my PR application. Do i still need to submit it now?

Thanks.

If your trip to India which you made last year if its more than 183 days then only you need PCC, if its less than 183 days then you dont need PCC.

Hi there, I'm applying for citizenship for my son, who was in India for 3-4 months after we landed as PR, however he is a minor. Does he also need a PCC?
