I am an Express Entry candidate (not yet received an ITA). I have a question about whether I am interpreting the language around timing of police clearance certificates correctly.
TLDR: can the submitted police clearance certificate from a country other than my current country of residence be issued before a short visit (<1 month) to the other country?
More detailed explanation:
Thanks!

More detailed explanation:
- The country I currently live in is the US (been there since Aug 2017) -> I understand I will need a police clearance certificate from the US issued within the last 6 months at the time of responding to the ITA.
- Before Aug 2017, the only other country I ever lived in is India.
- From Aug 2017 to now (Sep 2022), I have only had several short visits to India (short visit defined as <1 month duration), and have not lived in India for 6 months or more in a row.
- I expect this pattern of short visits to India to continue in an erratic manner, but I do not at any time in the near future expect to live in India for 6 months or more in a row.
Thanks!
