Dear experts..

I am 38 years old. born in April 1981

As per new PCC rules, PCC is required for last 10 years since the age of 18 ( applicable since March 2018)


I got a PCC from my home country which covers well last 10 years but it starts from 2002 when I was 21 year old. would CIC reject my application. I am PNP candidate so it will be disaster if I get rejection. cuz province might not shift my nomination to new profile. I am July 2018 AOR. still Medicals not passed.

Referring below I find some relief but still too much tense.

It says PCC is required for self and family members who are 18 yr and above... and
Every country you (or a family member) stayed in during the last 10 years for 6 months or more in a row

For your case, you need PCC for countries where you have resided in the last 10 yrs, 6 months and above continuously...

@bimale4bipeople Thanks for prompt response.

I have attached PCC from my home country where I stayed about 8 months during last 10 years.

The issue is that my PCC is from 2002 onwards till date whereas I became 18 in 1999. so my prime concern is that whether IRCC will refuse my application that PCC does not cover full period of stay since the age of 18? It does covers last 10 years as PCC start date is 2002.

My home country is Pakistan.
country of present stay is Saudi Arabia . ( Got PCC from saudi)

I moved out of home country in Nov 2008.

Got ITA in APR 2018 and PCC from Pakistan was asked in personalized check list. I got the PCC from Pakistan but I was in impression that it should cover only last 10 years. so a random start date was given to authorities at time of PCC issuance.

OK, did you check with IRCC(call centre) or order GCMS notes to know what is the current status of your Eligibility and Criminality Check?

MY AOR is 18th July 2018. Still medicals not passed and eligibility and criminality check not done yet. I believe it's too early to ask GCMS notes.

My bad then... sorry I thought you were Apr 18 AoR...

So for Pakistani PCCs, I read this.... It seems the guys are suggesting to get a PCC from 18 yr onwards.
Is it possible for you to go to the nearest Pakistani consulate and apply for a new PCC(for the whole duration) and submit via Case Specific Enquiry/Web form (https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx)?

you are right, prior to recent change of rules in Mar 2018; it was sure rejection but as I copied above IRCC tweets after PCC requirement changed in March 2018; it seems they don't ask for PCC since the age of 18.

Is there a problem for you to get a updated PCC from the Pakistani consulate in Saudi ?

The consulate doesn't issue PCC here in Saudi, I would have to apply through my blood relative in Pakistan, it's is not complicated process but it will take few days of hassle from someone in Pakistan.

and there is no surety that if I send PCC as CSE, IRCC will accept it as its a new documents.

so I am just confused and trying to find out if somebody has similar experience i.e. with AOR after Mar 2018.

Replying to @AskKubeir


1/ 2 Hi. To clarify, applicants must submit valid police certificate(s) for all countries or territories (except Canada) they have spent 6 months or more in a row within the last 10 years or since the age of 18, whichever is longer.


Replying to @AskKubeir


2/2 If you're 25, you will need to send PCs from all countries or territories you spent 6 months or more in a row from the age of 18. If you're 40, you will need to send PCs from all countries or territories you spent 6 months or more since the age of 30 (10 years).
