You have to apply for a new one. What stage are you in the process?

Thank you, I am just about to submit my application
 
The expiry date on the PCC doesn't matter. CIC has their own rules for PCC validity.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/infORmation/security/police-cert/intro.asp

For the country you currently live in, the police certificate must be issued no more than six months before you apply.

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.

A Nigerian PCC is only valid for 3 months irrespective of whether you live in the country or not.

Again, the expiry date on the PCC doesn't matter. Read the rules.

The thing is....the rules say what the rules say but these agents can b funny at times.
