Please help- urgent PCC issue

[lincy]

Can you help me out
Just wanted to know what is the authenticity of this link as it was on Canada visa. Regarding police certification.


https://www.canadavisa.com/news/ircc-updates-police-certificates-requirement-for-express-entry.html?site=tw&cat=org

Prior to this update, an applicant was required to submit a police certificate from any country or territory where they had resided for a total of six months. This meant that an applicant who spent two months in a country, left and then returned to that same country a few years later for four months was required to provide a police certificate from that country.

An applicant is now only required to submit a police certificate for a country in which they have resided for six months in a row or longer.

My husband has been to indonesia from 2010 to 2016 for a period of 290 days but the stay has never exceeded the period of 30 days . He has never stayed consecutively for 6 months. So are we spared from the Indonesian PCC?

Please hElp

Ignore. He will need a PCC. IRCC counts all days cumulatively irrespective of how much of it was consecutive. If cumulative total exceeds 6 months, you need a PCC

It has recently been updated though:

Police certificates
To immigrate to Canada, you and any family members 18 and older must include your police certificates as part of the application for permanent residence. You need one for every country, other than Canada, where you stayed for more than 6 months in a row.

From what @Nobatia said and what has been updated on the CIC website, you do not have to submit a PCC from Indonesia.

Where is the update mentioned. In the aforementioned link it is shown six months in a row.. on the same page if you enter where it tells invited to apply, they tell six months in total..Which is right?

I'm guessing the page for 'Invited to Apply' has outdated info which IRCC didn't get around to updating yet, as it's last date modified is 2017-07-17. While the page I linked is the more recent one (2018-02-27).
