Hello Joss,
Congratulations on receiving the MR request. I am just trying to assess the transit time in mail. Are you in the US? If so, which state?

Thanks,
SF2005

Congratulations Erik,
Did you get the MR by email or by regular mail? If by regular mail, (for the purpose of assessing mailing time) do you mind sharing where you live in the US?

Thank you Banny.

SF2005 - it arrived in white envelope (standard business size) 4 1/8" by 9 1/2".
I am in Texas.

Good luck to all.

My question to all: The letter does not specifically ask for Police Certificate. Should I just apply for FBI Police Certificate again? although I submitted when I first applied.
The concern is that I may be asked for this after Medical is received by Ottawa and then it will take me time to get the result from FBI. So if they asked, I have already taken a step ahead....
Any thoughts? I wonder why some are asked the PC and some are not.

Hi Erik,
Thank you for your reply. I recall reading about a few people being asked to submit repeat FBI certificates but I think the requests were made along with the MR request/instructions.

It doesn't hurt to send your fingerprints for a new FBI certificate. If not for immigration, you might need it for some purpose once you get to Canada (especially if you're in regulated professions like in healthcare).

All the best,
SF2005
