Police clearance certificate and photos

[bismitha]

My FSW2 application for 3131 was returned back due to cap reached. So when I apply for the next time, can I use the same police clearance certificates and photos? Because application guideline gives 1 year validity for PCC and I have taken my PCC in oct 2011. Also if I keep the same photos, how will they know when it was taken?
Please suggest.

In the checklist it is given that PCC is considered to be valid for one year from the date of issue.

The certificate must have been issued no more than three months before you submit your application.

It is valid for 1 year for the VO use.

Hai..I need one more clarification. Is there any problem if there is some gap in the period mentioned in PCC? I got my PCC from my native place.But for the last one year I was working in an another state. So that one year period is excluded from PCC. So should I get two PCC from both the states?

As I shared you the link previously i.e http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp .....it is said:

Who needs a police certificate?

In general, you and everyone in your family who is 18 years of age or over need to obtain a police certificate. You must obtain a police certificate from each country or territory where you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18. If you lived more than or equal to 180 days, you must submit PCC from there. Your Schedule A_Background decla IMM5669E form, and in section 8, hope you showed your personal history as you spent 1 year in another country also.

BTW, if it is in a same country but different state, no need to send another PCC. I guess you say different state means different country.

I was in the same country. But different states. But in my PCC it is mentioned that 'for last one year the person was out of the state.So this period is excempted'. They are telling me to collect an another PCC from this sate for the missing period.

Where is this? I got it. Those are governed by separate administration. Then you must send separate PCC.

ha ha ha...I know that it is valid for one year. The link I shared also shows its valid for one year. But when you want to send a PCC, it must be issued not more than 3 months before.
