Incorrect. See below, an extract from the documents checklist.
Police Certificates and Clearances
You are strongly encouraged to submit your police certificates with your application to the CIO. If you are unable to obtain all the necessary police certificates, you may still send your application to the CIO without them. However, we strongly recommend that you take steps to obtain your police certificates now to avoid future delays. You must be ready to submit them when requested by an officer.
Note: Police certificates are generally considered to be valid for one year from date of issue; therefore depending on the processing time of your application, you may be requested to submit new certificates.

jsm0085,
pradeep is asking ... how old can a PCC be, before he applies? He is not asking the PCC validity after issuance.
And I think, yahoo7 has answered it correctly.
Hi
Sorry you are incorrect. From http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp
Who needs a police certificate?
In general, you and everyone in your family who is 18 years of age or over need to obtain a police certificate. You must obtain a police certificate from each country or territory where you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18.
The certificate must have been issued no more than three months before you submit your application.
If the original certificate is neither in English nor in French, submit both the certificate and the original copy of a translation prepared by an accredited translator with your application.
