I have been residing in Canada for the last 1 year. Hoping CEC draws would resume, I got the Police Clerance Certificate for my stay in USA on March'22 . Does anyone know the validity of the Police Clerance Certificate issued by FBI ?

Note: I haven't been to USA for the last 1 year too. From the below information couldn't understand the validity of the PCC issued ! Appreciate any clarity.

Date the certificate was issued
For the country where you currently live
The police certificate for the country where you currently live:
  • must be issued no more than 6 months before the date you submit your application
  • must not be expired
For any other country
For any other country, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row.

Some countries put expiry dates on their police certificates. If you have a police certificate that expired, include it. We’ll accept it if:

  • it was issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row
  • it is not for the country where you currently live
An officer may ask for a new one later on.

If you don’t return to USA (and stay there for 6 months or more, or reside there) your certificate is good to use for the foreseeable future.
