I just got ITA for express entry. I have some questions about police certificate. Does the certificate I got from my home country have a valid time? I left my home country at 2015 and I have applied one police certificate for applying for the visa come to Canada. Until now I have never been back and live at my home country for more than 2 month. Can I still use the police certificate I have at hand to apply for PR or do I need to apply for a new certificate.

You need to apply for the new PCC which should be valid till your last visit to your home country

Validity of PCC is 3 months from the date of issue . You can request one from your local embassy

PCC is valid for 6 months; hence, your PCC issued in 2015 is not valid. You must get a new PCC from India prior to the submission.

And if your are a resident of another country (Canada), please make sure that you apply for your Indian PCC on a date AFTER your last trip to India.
