I moved from the US (H1b) to Canada in Feb-2021 on WP. I was anticipating EE draws and thus initiated India PCC ( received the same on Mar 2021). Since then I have travelled once to India for 2 weeks.
My Question is:
1. Can I use the same PCC (issued in mar 2021) for express entry whenever I get the invite ( hopefully by end of 2022).
2. My spouse has not travelled to India. Can she use her Indian PCC issued during the same time(mar 2021) ?
You may use exisitng PCCs as they adhere to IRCC's guidelines and explain the same in an LOE. I have seen people doing it and getting approved. However, if you go over other forums, a fresh PCC is the most asked ADR document post ITA and Indian PCC takes time as well. So people generally suggest to get a new one a few weeks before the ITA. Based on the current CRS trends, you can apply one just to avoid additional processing, or ADR.
