Hello All

I am leaving UK and i received my police certificate just now. how long will this be valid for?

if i apply for canadian immigration next year then will this be ok to show or do i have to order another one next year?

please advise
 
Police certificates must be submitted to CIC/VO within three months of being issued. If you plan to apply for Canadian immigration next year, you will need to obtain a new police certificate.
 
are police certificates required for study permits and vistor visas?

also if i come to canada to study and stay there on study permit and then apply for residency then will i still need new police certificate?

Yes - you will still need new police certificates when you apply for residency.

PCC valid for 1 year, but as Syclla said PCC must be submitted to CIC within three months of being issued.
 
in most countries, they are valid for 4-6 months. no less than 4 months

CIC makes its own rules for Canadian immigration/visa purposes. Police certificates for all countries are valid for a year - however the police certificate must be received by CIC within three months of being issued or it's no longer valid.

the document checklist provided by CIC clearly mentions that PCC are valid for a year :)
