Hi
I work in Canada, I have visited my home country (Pakistan) and have to submit my documents(17th October) before I leave for Canada on 19th October.
The question I have is that do I need a new PCC after I land in Canada i.e. exit Pakistan, or the one I have is good enough?
If I need a new PCC, do I need to submit any LOE explaining that I will be leaving Pakistan on 19th and will submit a new PCC?

IRCC will request a PCC for your current country of residence and any country where you have spent more than 6 months in the last 10 years.
If you have not stayed more than 6 months in Pakistan after the date of your most recent Pakistan PCC (which, I am assuming, is the one you are thinking of replacing by a new one), then you do not need to apply for a new one.
"Date the certificate was issued For the country where you currently live
The police certificate for the country where you currently live:
must be issued no more than 6 months before the date you submit your application
must not be expired
For any other country
For any other country, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row.
Some countries put expiry dates on their police certificates. If you have a police certificate that expired, include it. We’ll accept it if:
it was issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row
it is not for the country where you currently live
