Hello
I have stayed in china from 2005 to 2014 for study purpose. After my graduation i received a no criminal certificate from police for the period i stayed in china and later the certificate was notarized. The certificate was issued on 2014. My question is for the time period i stayed in China is the PCC i got on 2014 is acceptable? or do i need to get a new one issued? its very troublesome to issue a new one since im not in china and there os no way i can go there. Please note that the PCC i have do not have any expiry date.

When was it issued? After u left the country or before that? Because acc to this it should be issued after u left the country.

Do you know anyone in China still, who can go to your school's police office and make the request? Way easier than hiring an agency.

i have lived in 4 cities in total so for each city agent will charge me seperately which comes to a huge amount in total. I got the certificate while i left china.

In my case:
Studied in China from 2014-2017. I got the PCC in May 2017 but left China in July 2017.

I got the PCC Translated and Notarized in Toronto in January 2020. I used the translated PCC for spousal sponsorship application in March 2020.
I became a PR in February 2021. No question asked about the PCC.
