Police Clearance

[SnehaSacharMehta]

Hi,

My husband and I are contemplating moving to Canada. We have not yet
applied in the Express Entry category and are yet to give IELTS, basically
we are yet to start the process.
Also, I will be the primary applicant.

I had a query around the Police Clearance Certificate that I hoped someone
would be able to help us understand:

My husband has 181 days of stay in the United States of America. I
wanted to understand whether it amounts to six months and would he
need a Clearence certificate?
Also, in the Police Certificate Section it is mentioned
"For countries you have lived for six months or more in total, the
police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in
that country".
As my husband travels for work constantly and it could be a
possibility that he travels again to those countries from where we
would have secured the police clearance and hence it wouldn't be the
latest. So what should one do in that case?

Any leads would be highly appreciated.

Also, I would like to clarify whether the duration six months is a continuous duration meaning at a stretch or a staggered one amounting to six months and more?

Yes he needs a US police certificate, 6 months = 180 days.

As my husband travels for work constantly and it could be a possibility that he travels again to those countries from where we would have secured the police clearance and hence it wouldn't be the latest. So what should one do in that case?

The police certificate from a country is valid for at least 6 months in any case. So, if he visits that country after the issue date of the certificate, you can still use it within 6 months. If he doesn't visit that country after the issue date, you can use it even after 6 months.

Also, I would like to clarify whether the duration six months is a continuous duration meaning at a stretch or a staggered one amounting to six months and more?

6 months in total, hence, doesn't have to be continuous.

Good luck!
