How long do we have after AOR to send police certificates? It doesn’t have a deadline

No deadline as soon as possible

But what if it takes someone longer and they reject in the meantime. Qatar takes 4 months. Will they follow up on straight away reject?

You include a letter of explanation and any proof that you have applied for the record.

So basically right away after AOR we can respond with proof of application?

I thought you got the police clearance record request?

Sorry to clarify: my parents are waiting for the AOR. but since we would need to get a police certificate from qatar which I’ve heard takes 3-4 months to obtain. I was wondering if the pcc request in the AOR has a deadline attached to it? Or if. Separate PCC request will be sent also. If the AOR doesn’t specify a timeframe then it will be hard to know a deadline to submit it by. I’ve seen two things here,

1) people that receive a PCC request with a specific deadline.
2)AOR with a request for PCC without a deadline

so it’s confusing.
My situation, no AOR yet but trying to plan ahead. We have already started the process to get the three PCC’s we will need. UAE,Pakistan, and Qatar

This was already answered previously. Why the confusion?

Go ahead and start application for PCC. Since your parents are not currently living there in Qatar, this PCC will not expire. PCC's have a validity of 1 year only if it is one's current place of residence.

In case they send you request with a deadline, you can always apply for extension with proof that you have applied for a PCC (receipts and e-mail/letters from govt. agencies) in the case that they give you a deadline. IRCC will not penalise you for what is not in your control.
