Police certificate for student visa

[jankafle8]

Hi, I'm currently applying for my study permit for Canada and I've prepared pretty much all my documents bar one. I currently live in NYC and I don't know how can I get a police certificate for my visa. Some say I would have to go to my nearest precinct and some say I have to go to some headquarters to obtain it. I'm clueless regarding this issue. Any information on this would be helpful. Thank you.

If you are applying from the US and you are required to provide a pcc, you'll need to get an FBI clearance certificate. I think you can apply online and I've heard it takes a long time.

Are U.S applicants required to provide police clearance for SP applications?

I have genuinely no idea regarding that. All the YouTube videos I've watched or articles I've referred to are from students from countries outside the US. So, I'm absolutely clueless if I should even submit a police clearance for SP applications. From those videos and articles, I referred to, students from outside the US said that the CIC website doesn't specifically ask for a police report if you've put 'No' as your answer for the criminal conviction question. But they did say that I could upload the report under Optional documents section. But still, it wasn't from a US student, so I'm on the fence on that one.

Any idea on this issue? I have no clue on this subject. I don't know if a person living in New York City, USA would require a police certificate or if they do, where do I get it from. I'd be grateful if someone could fill me in on this issue.
