I looked through the existing threads, information I found is quite dated.
I have dual nationality. I obtained ppc from the embassy of my birth country in 2017. Since then I went for a short visit in 2018. Some say that that visit cancelled my ppc, others claim that it didn’t.

The embassy is only accepting in person requests. That means I would have to drive there for 4h to make a request, pay 60€, come back and in 2 weeks drive there again...I’m 8m pregnant and I REALLY don’t want to do it.

Since there is no clear definition on “lived” and “visited” can I perhaps raise this point in LOE saying that if they find it invalid, I will request a new one?
 
What is your deadline to submit documents? I'd personally not give them slightest chance to reject the application.
 
Definition is pretty clear on IRCC website - certificate is valid as long as it was issued after your last stay of 6 months or more so a short trip (assuming its less than 6 months) does not invalidate the certificate.

Personally though, if I was in your situation - I will just get a new certificate for mental peace :)
