RCMP Police Clearance validity

[shirishkota]

Hi,

I wanted to inquire about the validity of RCMP Police clearance when we are staying in Canada. I have read on the CIC site that it is valid for 1 year, but if I had done a police clearance in advance then while submitting the application, how long should it be valid?

Like we have the medical certificate which is valid for 1 year, but it has to be valid for minimum 6 months when you submit the application. Is that the same for RCMP police clearance also?

I don’t know why you need RCMP police clearance. For PR you need PCC from your home country.
Thank you

if the person has been more than 183 days in Canada, IRCC ask for it.

medical exam is valid 1 year after you send it (medical board submitted). The Police certificate have to be less than 6 month when you send the PCC to IRCC

Check the last line
I copy pasted from CIC website
Get the police certificates you need
You must include police certificates when you apply for permanent residence.

Our online system will ask for a police certificate for:

• you and your family members who are 18 years or older
• and
• every country you (or a family member) stayed in during the last 10 years for 6 months or more in a row

You don’t need to give us police certificates for any period of time before you were 18 years old or for time spent in Canada.

I spent one year in Canada and IRCC asked me for the RCMP police clearance , it is up to the officer.

That’s a different scenario, but usually it is not mandatory and many of friends got PR without RCMP PCC. Rest for sure will depend upon Visa Officer.
