PCC timeline clarification

[Canadavisa92]

Hi all
I have a question regarding the PCC requirements in the Canadian citizenship application.
I am applying now and as a requirement I have to provide a PCC for the UAE as I lived there for a year in my soft landing.
Now my question here is based in the following scenario
1- I lived in the UAE while a PR from December 2019 until November 2020
2) I went on the UAE for a three week vacation in 2022
3) Issued the PCC in November 2023 as I was planning on applying in December 2023 however decided to postpone my citizenship application to January 2024 after coming back from my vacation to the UAE.

Now because I went to the UAE in December i.e. after issuing the PCC will that be okay? Or do I need to issue a new PCC?

Thanks alot in advance

PCC is normally valid for 6 months, so it should not be an issue.

Thank you for your response

but what does the below explanation entail? I found it under the information help button in the application



“The police certificate must be issued
after the last time you were in that country or territory, or
no more than 6 months before the date you sign your citizenship application”

does after the last time you were in that country mean even just visiting?

Your last visit was not for 6 months. If it would have been, your current PCC wouldn't work in that case.

Correct
But my comment was the first part where it said “after the last time you were in that country” and as I mentioned I was in the UAE for two weeks in December which is after my PCC issuance date in November

The dates(PCC, travel) are too close for IRCC to have any concern about.

If IRCC is not satisfied they request for a new one. Just for that they don't reject the application.
