Police name check for k1 visa

[Toronto85 0]

Ok so mine is a bit different. I am from Australia I have lived in Canada for 2.5 years now on a legal status. I can obtain the Canada police check for the K1 visa. With Australia I have one from last year in October

2015. I haven’t lived there since March 2014. Do I need to get another police cert from Australia or can I use the current one I have dated October 2015 or should I get another one with a more recent date? I know the Canadian one ill get now cause I live there. For Canada is the police name check enough the one you get from the Toronto Police station? As I live in Ontario.

Thanks

As the Australian police certificates are only good for 1 year I personally would obtain another.

The PCC is only accepted for 1 year from the date of issue. [This is as far as I have learned from all the posts. Someone more experienced may be able to give you more accurate detail] You should try and get latest PCC from Australia in my opinion.

You should get a new one. They don't have an expiration date but I doubt they would accept an old police check. Be on the safe side and get a new one

U.S. won't accept anything more than a year old.

Now for the Canadian one police cert as I have lived here for 2.5 years do I just get it from the local police office for Canada wide check?

Yes

If the police certificate says it's valid for 90 days for instance, would USCIS still accept it within a year, or would a new one have to be drawn up that's much closer to the interview date?
