PCC VALIDITY?

[sayemsadat]

Hi,
I will be landing in last week of this February & I intend to sponsor my family as soon as I arrive. Police clearance certificate is a requirement here. I want to know what is the validity if I already have one for my wife almost 1 year ago?

Used to be considered valid for six months, but in the last year I think they now consider 3 months the maximum. In any event, 1 year old is waaayyyy out of date.

no more than three months before the date the applicant submits their application.

no more than three months before the date the applicant submits their application.

My 2 cents.... my PCC from my home country was dated 25 June 2018 and I submitted my PR Inland Application on 26 Nov 2018. I received AOR in mid Jan 2019 and so far there is no comment from IRCC on my PCC.

Going by that I am guessing PCCs are valid for 6 months at least.

I would keep your fingers crossed if I were you! AOR1 does not mean they have checked the dates on the PCC, probably just checked it was there, it is only a relatively crude 'completeness check'.

Oh yes Hurlabrick I completely agree with you. I am just keeping my fingers crossed and praying they do not request for a new one. Will keep you’ll posted.
