PCC -Validity from India

Depends where you are resident when you apply for Indian PCC. If you live in India, PCC is valid only 6 months. If you are applying outside of India, it has no expiry date as such as long as you dont travel to India. The minute you land in India that PCC is invalid.
The validity of an Indian Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) varies depending on the purpose and country of use.
For example, if you are applying for a job in India, the PCC is usually valid for six months from the date of issuance. However, if you are applying for a visa to travel or work abroad, the validity period may differ based on the requirements of the country you are applying to.
In general, the validity of a PCC for international purposes is typically one year from the date of issuance. However, some countries may require a PCC to be no more than three or six months old. It's important to check the specific requirements of the country or organization you are submitting the PCC to.
It's worth noting that the validity of a PCC can also depend on the issuing authority in India. Some police departments may issue PCCs with longer validity periods than others, so it's always best to confirm the validity period with the issuing authority.

Hi,
I have question regarding the PCC.
I applied PCC for Express entry from BLS- Canada.
After I got the PCC, If I travel to India for 2 months and comeback to Canada.
Can I submit document for express entry under CEC or Do I need to apply for a new one after comming back from India?
Thank you!

Your PCC will expire the minute you land in India, so you need to get a new PCC after your return.
A PCC is usually valid for one year from the date of issue, but you’ll need to provide a PCC that was issued within the past 6 months from your current country of residence.
For countries that you lived in or traveled in for more than 6 months, you’ll need a certificate that was issued after your most recent visit of 6 months or longer. It may still be accepted even after its expiration date, so long as it is not your current country of residence.
Because the processing time for PCCs can vary widely, it’s best to ensure that they are all valid and up-to-date at the time you intend to apply for your visa. If you’ve submitted your profile to the Canada Express Entry system, it’s probably a good time to begin requesting your PCCs.
Please can you help. If I reside in India since birth, n get PCC issued in India in September, but travel after that for 6 days only to Hong Kong in October n return, is that PCC valid for submission to iron in Dec? Or just because I traveled to Hong Kong for a couple of days I need a new PCC?
Hello,
I got my PCC from India in Feb, 2022. I never went to India ever since I came to Canada (Dec 2017). Now do I need to apply any kind of PCC from Canada or I need new PCC from India? Thanks

Hello All,
I have got my ITA. One of its requirement is Police clearance certificate from India. I am currently living in Alberta and I have got my PCC from India through my dad who is staying there. Just have confusion, because I applied through BLS but it’s been more than 2 months and I didn’t get it yet. So it’s ok if I have it done personally from India through my dad that’s one I will use?
