[mabrar]

Hi All,
I Would like to know the validity of PCC (Police clearance certificate)for CEC express entry application. I got ITA on Jan-22-2020. I am planning to submit all documents in coming days.
We(Me and Spouse) belong to Pakistan. Our PCC issued date are Dec-31-2019 for the last 10 years which is before the ITA date(Jan 22-2020). If i submit documents by start of Feb 2020 for processing.Will PCC be acceptable or is there any possibility to reject my application because PCC certificate did not issue after ITA?

Looking forward to your valuable advice.

Note: Just for information,Dec 31 and Jan 1st do not consider Public holiday in Pakistan.

When you say "our PCC issued date are Dec-31-2019 for the last 10 years", does your PCC mention the 10 year period?

There is no requirement that a PCC be issued after the ITA. The only requirement is that it be either (a) issued after the last time you resided in the country, or (b) be less than six months old at the time you submit your eAPR. It should be fine.
