Indian PCC for Express Entry CEC PR — issued in Dec 2025, still valid if I never left India?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for Express Entry CEC PR and I have a question about my Indian PCC.

My PCC was issued in December 2025. I have not left India at all since it was issued. I’m now preparing to submit my PR application, but the PCC is already more than 6 months old.

Does anyone know if I still need to get a new PCC, or can I use this one since I never left India after it was issued?
I’ve seen different answers online, so I want to be sure before submitting. Any advice from people who went through the same situation would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
