Called today. The FBI are opening packages received July 19. (Ours was!) They couldn't find ours when we gave our name which was odd - so they told us to call back on Wednesday. This might mean it will take Friday, Monday, and Tuesday to open all of the packages delivered July 19. *Shrug*...

Received Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) on October 4! I am a US citizen living in the US, and applied through Express Entry as a Federal Skilled Worker (FSW). Fingers crossed for a quick processing time :) Not sure what this WhatsApp group is?

This seems like an expedited timeline. Are you certain your FBI PCC was received in July -- not June? My calls and others' calls indicate they aren't even opening packages from that late date in July. Mine was received July 19 and I haven't heard anything. Thanks for any follow up.

Thanks for this. Yes - this sounds likely and we'll watch out for the credit card charge, and also keep checking this thread. Unfortunately, we'll have to submit the PCC late since our application deadline is Oct 11. We'll of course provide proof of our efforts so it should be fine. That being...

We called this morning - they said they are opening packages from July 7. Our package was delivered there July 19, and they told us this morning we should expect to wait at least another 4 weeks. I'm not sure if she was including mailing time when she said another 4 weeks. It's already been...

Hi all, My partner and I must send fingerprints to the Canadian Consulate in Mexico to receive the Mexican PCC. We are in the United States. Is it 100% necessary to have a police agency or the Mexican Consulate take the finger prints? Many OTHER types of agencies can provide us finger prints...

Thanks, I'm a citizen so I'll be going to an FBI channeler for the LIVESCAN, so the fingerprints can be electronically sent. I simply am having trouble finding out if I am able to receive a hard copy of the Identity History Summary Check rather than a PDF.

I'll edit my post. I meant to say, they only provide a PDF copy of the Police Certificate (Identity History Summary Check) I'm not sure why you received printed fingerprints - aren't they electronically sent to FBI?

I definitely want to do LIVESCAN. However, I'm concerned that the FBI Report (Identity History Summary Check) is sent as a PDF rather than by mail/hard copy. The CIC website says they don't accept photocopies. Does anyone have experience with this or know a post on the forum with the answer?

Hi there - what is the number you call to speak with them?

Hi all, I just received my ITA and am looking to get Police Clearance from FBI. I'd like to do the LIVESCAN as it's much faster (electronic finger-printing with an FBI-Channeler) but I'm told the Police Certificate will come in PDF form via email rather than the "original" in paper form. I see...

That's true! Thank you.

It appears the 2017 Target is 71,700 ITAs for FSW, FST, CEC programs. (Part of Express Entry?) -- http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-plan-2017.html In 2017 so far, 47,876 ITAs were issued through Express Entry. --...

Sick to my stomach waiting for tomorrow. Missed the last draw by 1 point. Hopeful but incredibly anxious.

I'm at 448. But honestly who knows what's gong on with scores right now. I've brought this up with my attorney a number of times and she's adamant we wait - which is frustrating. Are the certificates valid for 6months? Do they become valid for one year once submitted for ITA?

Thank you. I may just use the channeler after I receive ITA. However, my partner will have to still go the traditional route and send to FBI by mail. QuestionL Where do you see that you can get the report within 1 week? Is it legitimately the same report that CIC requests with ITA? If so, why...

Meeee tooooooooo!

Thanks for your comments on this. Thankfully, my attorney has been great and I've remained very involved in the process and reviewing everything on my own as well. There's just a few complications that our attorney is assisting us with - just in case. All the best to you.

Hey there jackbauer, thanks for your response. To clarify, I'm a US Citizen living in the states, applying for PR in Canada from the US. My attorney is nervous for me to send before ITA in case something happens and I'm not invited within the next year, or who-knows-what. However, I was...

Thank you. My partner and I do have complex case, which is why we've chosen to work with a reputable attorney. Further, although I can do live scan through a 3rd party, my partner cannot. Is the check you receive "within seconds" the same thing as the FBI police clearance that CIC requires...
