Dear All, I moved to Canada from US. I am working on applying for a PR. However, wanted to understand can i take the PCC from US now? Or do i need to wait to receive the ITA? Also, how long will the PCC be valid? I need to get PCC from India and US too. Appreciate your inputs.

Note: Not sure when the EE profile will be picked as my score is less as of now. I wanted to understand if there is any issue in getting these PCC's even before EE profile is picked up

No issue. Safest estimate is that PCC is valid for 6 months if you were still living in the country when it was issued, but no expiry if you haven't been back in that country since PCC was issued.
