Hi,
Good day to all.
I received my nomination on October 29th and awaiting ITA.
Rang up my consultant and asked her what docs need to kept ready before hand.
She said if we have stayed in US, we need pcc from US too and that report shouldn't be older than a year.
We got our fingerprint reports in mid October 2015
.Is she right in saying so and do we need to get one done again?
We stayed in US for few months in 2006 and 2008.

Wouldn't the mid October 2015 report from US suffice?

Thanks in advance

No need to get the new one done. Oct 2015 will suffice. Unless you went to USA again after you got your fingerprint report. In that case you will need to get a new one. The one year old criteria she told you is for the country of residence.

Question Experts,

My police clearance was on 23rd August, after PCC I went to USA stayed there for 10 days, do I need to redo it if I get ITA before 23rd November?

No matter when you get an ITA, you'll need the PCC to be issued after the last time you visited that country.

Hi Asivad, Raj, Stanlee and other esteemed Seniors,

I'd be very glad if you could kindly give me your expert opinion on my case. I think my case is pretty straightforward and I'm just paranoid, but it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion.

I've recently relocated from Country X to Country Y. In fact, I've only spent 30 days in Country Y. Do I need a PCC for country Y, given that I'd be submitting my application from Country Y? I know the PCC requirement is for countries wherein one has lived for 6 months. Nonetheless, I'm still worried about submitting an application from a country I'm resident in without including a PCC for that country.

I've already contacted Country X's embassy to issue me their PCC.

Thank you and hope to get your usual assistance.

Yes, you have to apply for a Police certificate if you were in any country for more than 6 months after your 18th Birthday. This does not include Canada. You do not require a Canadian police certificate no matter how long you have lived here. CIC will conduct it's own background check.

I advice you apply for the Police certificate now without wasting any time. If you can't get your certificate in time [within 60 days for applying for PR], you can upload your request document stating that you have requested for the police certificate and then upload it when you have received it.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Where does it say you do not need a Police Certificate for Canada? What if Canada is the country you currently live in?

Here -

Police certificates
Purpose

To determine if the applicant or their family members have a criminal record or poses a security risk to Canada
Document requirements

For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.
For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the departure date of the last time the client resided in that country for more than six months.
Police certificates are required up front and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has lived for a total of six months or more. This instruction is for the purpose of the completeness check under section R10. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional police certificate.
Some countries require that the applicant complete a consent form to initiate a police certificate. For example, an applicant seeking a police certificate from New Zealand must download and complete the Consent to Disclosure of Information (NZ) form available on the IRCC website. The form is then uploaded (with any other police certificates the applicant may provide) as part of the e-APR. If the application is not rejected as incomplete, the processing office will assess the consent form and electronic file and initiate the police certificate.

You definitely need to obtain Indian PCC (either from PSK in India OR from Indian Embassy if you stay abroad) and submit it for e-APR.

I have stayed at two addresses in India for period of 6+ months. Is pcc required for both the addresses? Or one pcc is enough?
I am having a really tough time getting pcc! I have read people running from pillar to post for reference letter! Since I am in govt job, the policeman who cam efor verification, asked for noc from employer! Which is much hard to get! Well, is there anyone who is in govt service and managed to get pcc? Please help
As my countdown of 60 days is already begun!

You must obtain your PCC from your nearest Passport Seva Kendra (PSK). One PCC is required for One country.
I cannot advice you anything about NOC from employer, because this is something new that I have come across - that Govt. employees need to obtain NOC

Yes, as far as I have heard Indian government employees need No Objection Certificate from employers.
