I am an Indian citizen , living in dubai. I was born here and lived here ever since. I have never stayed in India for more than a month continuously. I have got the invitation to apply for cic. What I would like to know is, do I need the police clearance certificate from India?
According to the policy you only need it for countries you have lived in for 6 months or more.
Police certificates are required up front and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has lived for a total of six months or more. This instruction is for the purpose of the completeness check under section R10. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional police certificate.

Of course you do need one from India - it is required for any country where you have lived since age 18 for more than 6 months cumulative - so even time spent over multiple trips will count
