Hi Asivad,

Is the PCC valid for only 3 months or 6 months? I don't see any detailed guide on CIC website. thanks.

I only found this statement on CIC website:

"For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in that country."

The PCC is valid indefinitely if you never visit and stay in that country for more than 6 months in a row after obtaining it.
