Hi,

Is there an expiry date on it(mostly there shouldn't be)? If not then it should be good to use.

nope.. there is no expiry date. but when i checked with one lawyer, he mentioned, it is only valid for one year.
Somewhre i have read that it is valid until you visit the country.

so really confused with it..

Best way to know is to call FBI customer care. Tell them the reference # on your certificate and they should be able to assist you.

this is what is mentioned in CIC website.

Police certificates are typically valid for one year from the date they are issued.

For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must be issued no more than six months before submission of the e-APR.

For countries in which the applicant no longer lives, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the client lived in that country.

So that means that the pcc will be valid forever even if an expiry date is written on the pcc

If an expiry date has been mentioned on your PCC (and the PCC has expired) and you have not gone back to the country under question, I would suggest that it would be safer to get a new PCC.
