I have read on the Canada immigration website that they accept PCC for express entry if it is under 6 months old. However I have read other threads in this forum saying that it should be at max 3 months old. Can someone verify which information is correct? I have one more query. I need to apply for PCC from the Indian consulate in San Fransisco. Would it be alright to apply for it before I am in the pool? I plan to apply and enter the pool in the beginning of April.
