Yep. The FBI seal in the upper left corner of mine is in color.
 
Ok thanks. So mines clearly not in color. Not sure if there are others who received black and white report like me. I wanted to submit my PR application tomorrow but now I'm not too sure
 
Mine is black and white, even the seal. I put something in the LOE saying the original one mailed to me was black and white.
 
Slightly off topic but since you guys have received yours, can I know how long the process took from the date you mailed your documents?
 
The FBI report is black and white. I think the one through channellers are in color.
Also the process is taking around 2 months from start to finish
 
It is black and white on mine too. my process took close to 4 months. Not sure if CIC accepts through third parties...

I used a channeler so I got it instantly. Which could also be why the seal is in color.
 
Thank you guys, much appreciated. I have noticed the time it takes varies significantly. I read someone say a month, another say 4 months on this forum. So I guess its all luck.Thank you for helping me out.

It is not luck. FBI has a very clear first in first out policy. It takes more time (than average) only if there is some criminal record found or if the finger print quality is not good. Till January, they used to process applications faster. Now with more ITAs, there are more applications submitted to FBI and hence the process is taking longer. If you call their customer service number with your package delivery date, they will tell you as to applications from which date are being processed or if your application has already been processed. Good luck!

Ah, that is what I meant. So I asked them today and they are still processing March 16 applications, so i understood it would take about a month to get to my application(which was delivered April 13). If I do not receive it on time I will attach my mailing proof and hope it will suffice as proof till i get the same.
