I am living in Canada continuously on PR Status since 2016 June...how long do I need to stay more so I don't need to submit a PCC for qatar ..PLZ ADVICE
They require PCCs if in the 4 years immediately preceding your application you lived or travelled to another country for 183 days or more (cumulative, need not be consecutive). So, if after becoming a PR you didn't visit Qatar, and do not visit in the next 2.5 years, then you can probably apply early to mid 2020.
Whenever you plan on signing the application, just check 4 years in the past from that date to see if you were in any country for 183 days or more.
