Police clearance

[Zakmalik]

i am applying inland to sponsor my husband, does he need to provide police clearance upfront? The processing time is a year just to look at your file and I know the police clearance only last 2-3 months so when do I send it ?

The police check is only good for 3 months from the time it is printed until CIC has it in their hands.

So you have 3 months from the time it is printed to have it translated (if it is not in the appropriate language) and get it received by CIC. They do not consider it expired after they have received it.
