Police Clearance Certificate

[outstandinguy]

Hi Everyone,

I have one question: If I apply in FSW category in July 2012, do I need to send the Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from all the countries where I have lived for more than 6 months with my application?

Is there any option that I can send the PCC later? Actually all my documents are ready except PCC and next year my IELTS will also be expired.

Seniors I would really appreciate your advise.

Thanks in Advance,

hi outstandinguy,

to send them in the beginning is not a must, but highly recommended to avoid delays ! If you don't, they will definitely ask for it, for all countries you've stayed for longer than 6months. As for the Canadian PCC/fingerprint its not sure whether they ask or not, I sent it anyway to avoid them asking me and lose 1 or 2 months...


hope it helps,...

Thanks lepatissier07,

I could provide PCC to CIC later. One more thing, for how long PCC's remain valid?

Many Thanks,

Many Thanks,

You sure can send it when VO asks for usually with Medicals. PCC is valid for one year.

You are not required to send PCC for Canada in most cases as per the details mentioned on the website.

as much as i know the PCC are not supposed to be older than 3 months the moment you file your application.

in general, i didn't know that the IELTS is only valid for 1 year... i don't see the point. Its not that your that IELTS will get worse/bad or you will lose everything you learned 1 year later.it can normally get only better with your language...the meds ok, health,...the pcc's ok, too....things can "happen" within a year....but IELTS?
can somebody explain me this one, please?

anyway, i didn't need one. lucky me.
