POLICE CERTIFICATE FROM UK ALMOST A YEAR OLD

[ABIMBOLAAA]

I have a police certificate from UK dated March 2016 but i just got my ITA in march. Do you advice me to use this PCC as i have not been to the UK since January 2016. Please help needed has any one gotten rejection due to old PCC

If you haven't been back to the UK it should still be valid, however as you order UK PCCs online very, very easily, maybe it's just easier to order a new one?

Agree with kryt0n that you do not need a new certificate if you havent been to the UK again after your certificate date. Below is the clause from CIC website -

If you need a police certificate from a country or territory and: have lived there in the past, the police certificate must be issued after you last lived in that country or territory.

aditi04 - where did you get this from? Can you please send me the link? I was convinced I need to get new ones, even though I havent left Canada. What a bummer.

I am unable to post links, sorry. But if you pick up the statement and google it, you would see the cic page as the first result and will take you to the page from where I got this.

No need to order a new one. You can use your existing UK PCC for e-APR.
