police certificate

[at long last 58]

Hi Everyone

This is Vancouver, Canada specific

I have gone through pages and pages of threads for Canada specifics. I'm needing the most up to date answer. Are our police certificates good for 6 months or 1 year?

thank you

Canada-wide name check

These can be obtained at your local police station or RCMP office. The name check only takes a week or two, sometimes they can be obtained on the spot. Prices for police checks vary from station to station. When requesting this service, inform the agent that you are seeking a Canada wide police check for immigration purposes.

Important: It should note that the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) or the national criminal records repository was searched using the applicant’s name and date of birth

Note: If you obtain your police check from the RCMP please note that there is a difference between "Criminal Record Search" and "Canadian Police Certificate" both have been accepted.

Police background checks are valid one year before your interview.
