If you are currently in Canada since a year, do you need to produce police certificate from both your home country and Canada too.

PCC will be required from all the countries except Canada where you have spent 6 months or more since the age of 18.

Quote from CIC website:

You will need to get police certificates for you and each of your family members who are over 18. You must get one from each country or territory where you have lived for six or more consecutive months since the age of 18.

Are you sure Canada is not included? We have lived here for longer than 6 months. It's not stated in the CIC website that the no criminal record is waived for the stay in Canada.

you need PCC even if you stay in Canada more than 6 months.

It means, for example if you are from India , and you are staying in Canada since 3 years, still you need to get PCC from Indian Consulate which is BLS India is the service provider.

they will do for other countires.


If you go on vacation to any country and stay more than 6 months , you have to get PCC from those countries.

Such a dumb question.
Read your statement few times and see you have answered your dumb question itself.
If you are the only applicant, why would they need PCC for your family members?

Hey buddy, you will only need PCC from India. CIC will run background checks with RCMP and other resources they have. If they require anything else like your finger prints etc, they will let you know.

You only need PCC for yourself if you are single and have no dependants.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

Let me risk asking this straightforward one here. probably duplicate. Just clarifying.

I have travelled to few countries in past and have got PCC for all of them. I am in canada since last 8 months.
Do I need to get PCC for Canada too ?

CIC website says, when applying for PR, i don't need it.
the consultant i have been talking to, he's unsure and suggested me to get it anyway, as a safety net.

whats the word on this ?
