Police clearance certificate?express entry

[hasankhan27]

First, you need to post your question in an appropriate way which can be understood.
Where are you currently residing? If it is Canada, then you do not need PCC from Canada.

For all countries where you resided for 6 months or more since the age of 18, you need a PCC from that country. One PCC for one country.

Thanks for the answer. That clarifies my question to some extent. But can you also help me with the following;

1- Does the PC need to be dated from the time I was 18 years of age till the time I resided in my home country?
2- Does that PC need to have all the address stated where I resided during that period. Or the address are not necessary?

P.S yes I do currently reside in Canada.

" Police certificates
Purpose

To determine if the applicant or their family members have a criminal record or poses a security risk to Canada

Document requirements

For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.
For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after last time the applicant lived in that country.
Police certificates are required up front and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has lived for a total of six months or more. This instruction is for the purpose of the completeness check under section R10. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional police certificate. "

It's crazy how many informations you find with a bit or research and this answer has been given hundreds of times on this forum, just please do you research !

The PCC should not mention any "from date" or "to date" and any addresses. It should only have the date of issue and the Police record statement in that country.
E.g. The Indian PCC has the below statement:
" It is certified that there is no adverse information against Mr./Ms. Full Name S/D of Father's name, holder of passport no. XXXXXX, on dd/mm/yyyy which would render him/her ineligible for grant of travel facilities including visa for CANADA."

Hello Friends,

Please let me know the validity of Police clearance Certificates. I came to know from my friends that it's 1 year since it was issued.

I am not seeing any validity information in CIC portal for PCC..


Thanks

For the current country of residence, the PCC should not be older than 6 months at the time you submit your e-APR.

For other countries you have lived in the past, PCCs are valid indefinitely if it was issued AFTER your last departure from the country.

I applied in August 2015 with a PCC that was acquired in November 2014. CIC website states that PCC should be obtained after the period when you have last lived more than 6 months.

Your PCC should be fine!!! All the best with your application

It doesn't say more than 6 months it just says after you last lived there.
I don't know what "last lived" mean. I mean I'm not sure if there is any difference between "last lived" and "last time visited". I tried to find the answer in the following thread

Please regarding police clearance certificate. I lived in a country till 2007 and when I left the country I got a PCC which I still have. I haven't gone back to the country although theoretically the PCC expires after 6 months. Can I still use the Police certificate? The website says the PCC must be obtained after you last lived there

If the PCC was issued AFTER your last departure, you can use the same PCC. Otherwise, you might have to go for a fresh one.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know any agents/service providers in Canada that can get a UAE police clearance certificate on your behalf? I really don't know anyone in UAE that I can ask to submit application for me so I was wondering if there are any services based in Canada that can do it for a fee.

Thanks
