Thanks. The details available on IRCC are not very clear. my reading is different, I quote form the site
For any other country
For any
other country, the police certificate must be issued
after the last time you stayed there for
6 months or more in a row.
Some countries put
expiry dates on their police certificates. If you have a police certificate that expired, include it. We’ll accept it if:
- it was issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row
- it is not for the country where you currently live
An officer may ask for a new one later on.
