Hello everyone!

I travelled to Pakistan two times with different Canadian Travel Documents:

1st Trip Pakistan: 27 June 2016 up to 07 Nov 2016 = 132 Days
2nd Trip Pakistan: 26 Oct 2017 up to 25 Jan 2018 = 90

I have googled and it says 183 days or more outside Canada, in my case, I travelled to Pakistan in two different years 2016 & 2017 with two different Canadian Travel Documents and have spent less than Six months each time.

Now, do I need to provide a police clearance certificate from Pakistan or not? please help me in this regard I shall be thankful to you.


best regards
 
Yes, you do.

As per the Instruction Guide (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...bsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html#Step3):

10.2. Within the last 4 years, if you spent 183 days or more in another country (other than Canada), you must provide a police certificate. You must provide a police certificate for each country where you spent 183 days or more. If you cannot get a police certificate, tell us why.

[...]

Example 2: In the past 4 years, you took 10 trips to the United States of America (USA). Each trip lasted 3 weeks, for a total of 210 days. You would answer “Yes” to the question and you would need to provide a police certificate from the USA.
Hope this helps.

According to the guides, yes, you do. I would not rely on anything that is not specifically spelled out in a form or the guides/official website.
