Hello,
I am currently waiting for my WES evaluation to apply for express entry (WES received my documents on the 3rd of March), but otherwise I have all the required documents ready for submission. One of the detail I am a little apprehensive about is the validity of FBI clearance certificate.
I got my certificate on the 7th of Nov'16 and as it seems, it is valid for 6 months, which goes on to be till the 7th of May'17. Given this state, if I get an ITA and submit all the required documents before 7th May (hypothetically by April 1st week), would it still be valid? given CIC might take longer than 7th May to process it.
I am wondering if I should apply for another copy of the clearance and even if it takes a while to come back, can I still use my present clearance certificate.
Pointers of any kind from personal are highly appreciated.
Thanks Much!
