Georgian Police Clearance Certificate for Canada

​

Why Canada Requires a Police Clearance Certificate from Georgia

If you have lived in Georgia and are now applying for Canadian permanent residency, a work permit, or any immigration benefit through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), you will be required to submit a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Georgia as part of your application.

Canadian immigration law requires applicants to provide police certificates from every country where they have lived for 6 months or more after the age of 18. Georgia is no exception. A missing or improperly prepared Georgian PCC is one of the most common causes of IRCC application delays and refusals.

Through PCC.ge, you can obtain your official Georgian Police Clearance Certificate 100% remotely — without traveling to Georgia — with certified English translation and Apostille included.

​

Who Needs a Georgian Police Clearance Certificate for Canada?

You likely need a Georgian PCC for Canada if you:

• Are applying for Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) through Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), or family sponsorship

• Are applying for a Canadian work permit under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) or International Mobility Program (IMP)

• Are applying for a Canadian study permit and lived in Georgia for 6+ months

• Are going through a Canadian citizenship application and previously resided in Georgia

• Are sponsoring a spouse or family member who previously lived in Georgia

• Lived in Georgia for 6 months or more after the age of 18

Important: IRCC requires that police certificates be issued by the official Georgian government authority — the Ministry of Internal Affairs — and be no more than 6 months old at the time of your application submission.

​

What Canadian Authorities Accept

IRCC and Canadian immigration authorities accept the Georgian Criminal Record Certificate issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, provided it is:

• Official — issued by the Service Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia

• Apostilled — under the Hague Convention (Canada is a Hague member state)

• Translated — certified translation into English or French

• Recent — IRCC requires the certificate to be no more than 6 months old at the time of submission

PCC.ge provides all of these in one complete package. You do not need to coordinate separate providers.

​

Validity Period

IRCC generally requires that a Police Clearance Certificate be issued within the last 6 months. Because Canadian immigration processes can take time, we recommend ordering your certificate only when IRCC specifically requests it, not too far in advance, to avoid having to reorder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does it take to get a Georgian PCC for Canada?

A: Depending on your chosen package: 2 business days (Express), 7 days (Fast), or 10 days (Standard). All include the apostille and English translation.

Q: Does the certificate need to be apostilled for Canada?

A: Yes. Canada is a member of the Hague Convention and requires an apostille for foreign official documents to be legally recognized by IRCC.

Q: When should I order my Georgian PCC for my Express Entry application?

A: IRCC will specifically request the police certificate during your application process. We recommend waiting until IRCC asks for it, then ordering immediately — our Express package delivers in 2 business days so you will not miss your deadline.

Q: I lived in Georgia many years ago. Do I still need the certificate?

A: Yes. IRCC requires police certificates from all countries where you lived for 6 months or more after age 18, regardless of how long ago. The certificate must be newly issued — an old document is not accepted.

Q: Can I get the Georgian PCC without going to Georgia?

A: Yes. Our entire process is 100% remote. You send documents digitally, sign an authorization form online, and we handle everything in Georgia on your behalf.

Q: What if I had a legal issue or conviction in Georgia?
