Flipping the F-out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the Consulte documents, my police certificate is good for 1 year. HOWEVER, according to VJ Tips, it is only good for 3 months........

Which is correct because my police certificate was issued in the last week of Sept. 2006!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would go by what the consulate says - 1 year, since the consulate knows the authorities of the country they are dealing with and the validity period.

Regardless of where you got your certificate, either directly through RCMP or Commissionaires, it all goes through the same databases with RCMP.

The consulate is the one that really matters, and if they say 1 year, then 1 year it is! You'll be fine Good luck!

I concur ... 1 year.

Really, a police certificate is out of date the second it is printed. One could go out and commit some heinous crime the very next second. Regardless though, the advice you have received is correct ... Montreal says 1 year.
