Can I use a four year old UK PCC issued after I left my residence in the UK?

Hi everyone,

I lived in the UK from 2016-2017. I was planning to apply for immigration for another country, so at the end of 2019, I got a UK PCC which I still have with me. I never visited the UK after 2017 and my PCC was issued well after my departure. Can someone kindly tell me if I can use that PCC? I know that IRCC ask for police certificates that are within 6 months but since my certificate was issued well after my departure date, I am curious if this will be accepted. I looked on the official website and it said that the police certificate for other countries must be issued after the departure date.

That being said, I am still somewhat concerned if a newbie officer looks at my profile and rejects at an r10 stage.
