Mitali,
Were you able to find the official source where it says that the PCCs should not be more than 3 months old (At the VO stage)?? I couldn't.
Did any one here (At the VO stage -- especially ND VO applicants) submitted PCCs which were more than 3 months old and got through?
Thanks
Hi JB,
Sorry it took me so long to answer your query.
This extract from EG7:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/eg7.pdf
Pg 18 - 19
Police All applicants must submit police certificates/clearances as part of
certificates the application process.
Note: Do not submit your police certificates to the CIO. If your application
is recommended by the CIO for further assessment, you will be
required to submit the police certificates along with the full
application to the Canadian Visa Office indicated on your
application.
You and all of your family members who are 18 years of age and older and
who are not permanent residents or Canadian citizens will have to provide:
• a valid police certificate, or
• a police clearance, or
• a record of no information.
These documents are to be provided for each country other than
Canada, in which you have lived for six consecutive months or longer
since reaching the age of 18.
Note: If you or your family members were under 18 years of age
(16 years of age in certain jurisdictions) for the entire time you lived in a
particular country, you do not need to provide a police certificate for that
country.
You may begin to gather your police certificates before submitting your
application to the CIO. Although you will not submit the police certificate
to the CIO, you must be ready to submit them to a visa office if your
application is recommended for further assessment at a Canadian visa
office. When you submit the application to the visa office please ensure
that your certificates were not issued more than three months before you
submitted your application to the CIO.
For applicants requiring multiple police certificates ( Multiple here means from different
countries), please be certain these
documents can be produced at the time of the submission of your
application to the Canadian visa office.
