Hello everyone,

I received an ITA for express entry and require to submit Police Clearance Certificate.

The CIC website states the below:
'You may need a police certificate from any country or territory that you have spent six months or more since the age of 18.'

Since the age of 18, I have lived in UAE (my current country of residence) and have visited India (my country of origin) no more than 2 weeks at a given time.

Even if I add all the days I spent in India since I turned 18, it doesn't sum up to 6 months.

I know I definitely need the Police Clearance Certificate from UAE but do I also need the certificate from India since my country of origin is India?

Looking forward to your inputs.

Thanks!

Since India is your country of citizenship, it is safe to get a PCC from India as well. Sometimes they ask for PCC even if your stay was a little less than 6 months. Since you are a citizen of India, I don't believe it will be difficult for you to get one. Why take the risk?
