Regarding Police Clearance

[jaysonmartin2604]

Hi,
I have a question about the Police clearance document required for Express entry.
I know i need to get a Police clearance from India(as I am an Indian) and Canada(Currently residing in).
I have lived in Kuwait for more than 6 months and this was 10 years back. Do i still need to get a police clearance from Kuwait.?

1. You do not need a PCC for Canada.
2. If you lived in Kuwait within the past 10 years, then you need to read the instructions for Kuwait. They tell you that you do not need an up-front PCC from Kuwait, but will be asked to get one after you apply.

Hi, Is PCC required for the places we lived in last 10 years or all places we lived after 18 years?

The instructions recently changed, to the past 10 years (after turning 18).

Oh, OK Thank you.

Another update to consider: IRCC amended the PCC requirements to countries where you stayed 6 months in a row. So if each of your stays in Kuwait was less than 6 months, no need to provide PCC anymore..
