Question regarding PCC

[backendcode]

Hey Guys, I lived in Canada for 3 years in last 5 years.

Do I need PCC from Canada right? Can I just go to local police station and get Police clearance certificate or do I need to get the Rcmp clearance with a fingerprint.

Thank you,

Yes you need it from Canada and also from the place where you lived for other two years. Or else you might face significant delays in your application.

No PCC needed for Canada. But if you've been in another country for 183+ days in the last 4 yours, you need its PCC.

S/he doesn't need a PCC from Canada. PCC is only needed from countries other than Canada, where s/he may have spent 183 days or more (cumulative).

IRCC automatically performs background/criminal/RCMP checks for Canada.

See, this is the thing with individuals. My own experience has tainted my point of view towards this particular issue. I was required to do a FP for my PR and I am most certain that I will be required to do so for my CIT application, too.
You are right! It is possible that they do not require FP from this applicant.

FP is completely different from PCC though. The applicant doesn't need to provide fingerprints when applying for Citizenship. If/when needed, IRCC would request them and only then the applicant should provide them.
