My understanding is that the Police Clearance must be valid at the time of submission of application. It seems that this would have to be so, or given the typical processing times, every applicant would have to get a new Certificate. But I am certain that someone on here knows more than me about it!

Good day all,
I was wondering, is the 11 month wait for outland really 11 months or less? as I've seen people with about 6 months. I sent mine at end of August
Thanks

11 months is the time frame that 80% of cases are completed in.

So 80% of cases take less than 11 months - some in 3 or 4 months even.

The other 20% takes longer than 11 months.

The 3-month old rule applies to when the application is received by CPC-M. A police clearance is valid for a year, so long as when CPC-M received your application it had not been issued more than 3 months prior.

Some movement is better than none. I sure hope 60 days isn't the new norm though.
