I came to Canada with a study permit. However, I have required points to apply for EE, and recently I received an ITA. I am confused about the requirement of Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). I seek your expert opinion on this.

I had my the PCC for my study permit. I had the certificate in April, got my permit in May, and left for Canada in August. I went back home during Spring break, and definitely not stayed there for more than 6 months. Please correct me if I would be wrong to say that CIC needs the PCC from countries where I stayed more than 6 months. As CIC asks me to submit the PCC for my PR, would it not be okay to submit the PCC I had for my study permit as after I had received the PCC, I did not stay there for more than 6 months during any of my visits?

I wholeheartedly appreciate your time for this.

Much thanks.

No, you need a new PCC. You obtained the old one while you were still a resident, so it was valid only for 6 months.

" the police certificate must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row."
