  to ensure that the applicant does not pose a
  security risk and has adhered to the laws in
  their home country or any other country they have
  lived in for six months or more.

  the PCC to assess whether an applicant has a
  criminal record that could disqualify them from
  immigrating.
• Integrity A PCC helps maintain the integrity of
  Canadas immigration system by ensuring that only
  law-abiding individuals are granted entry.
• Legal Requirement Without a PCC, your
  immigration application is likely to be delayed
  or rejected, as it is a mandatory requirement for
  most visa categories.
