Thanks - is it 3 or 6. Some one shares this with me:
For the country you currently live in, the police certificate must be issued no more than six months before you apply.
For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in that country.
If your certificate is in a language other than English or French, send it when you apply, along with the original copy of a translation done by a certified translator.
Dowe need pcc from Canada too if we have lived here for more than a year
"Police certificates
As part of a complete application, applicants, their spouse or common-law partner and their dependent children 18 years of age or older (including non-accompanying dependants) must submit a valid PC for all countries or territories (except Canada) in which they have lived consecutively for six months or more, since the age of 18.
Note: This includes the requirement to provide a PC for countries in which the individual has traveled for six months or more, whether or not the individual had an established residential address during this time.
The CIC website provides instructions to applicants on how they can obtain a PC.
PCs are typically valid for one year from the date they are issued; however, PCs should be issued no more than three months prior to when they are provided to CIC as part of the e-APR."
