Old police certificate - PR paper based

I did a US police certificate after I left the US and haven't been back since then. However, the certificate is 2 years old. Can I still use it or I have to make a new one? Has anyone submitted the old one and got approved?

There is mixed information in this forum so I just want to clarify.

The CIC website does not make it clear:
"If you need a police certificate from a country or territory and:
  • are currently living there, or received the police certificate before leaving, the police certificate must be issued within six months before you apply.
  • have lived there in the past, the police certificate must be issued after you last lived in that country or territory."
