Thanks for the suggestion. I decided to go ahead and apply for the FBI clearance. At this final stage, I feel like it is maybe not a good idea to argue with them. My husband has no criminal record in the states, and I am not scared of the results. It is just going to take extra time. As far as Schedule A, I will just submit the previous form, newly signed.

I have actually heard that even though every country, where you stayed longer than 6 months in a row, the CR is mandatory, CIC can still ask for CR from other countries you lived shorter time or if you spend multiple times in some country in a short period of time. So it might not be them being suspicious, if he spend there 2 rounds of working holidays visa, then them might wanna just make sure he's clear there. You say he has a clean CR, so you have nothing to worry about, it is just gonna take some time to get it.

When we were waiting for my husband's FBI PCC, I followed this thread and I found there a lot of useful information: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/updated-topics/-t247817.2685.html;topicseen


Also, just some info:
- we took fingerprints at local RCMP (ink ones) and just one set - it was accepted by FBI
- it was exactly 12 weeks between the day FBI received it and when it was delivered to us
- according to some ppl in the above thread there is something to consider (but it's all pieces of info the collected from CJIS helpdesk agents: FBI puts your fingerprints through the scanner only weeks after they received it and after they charged your CC, so once they charge your CC, wait couple of days and call CJIS and ask them if your fingerprints were accepted. Their number is 304-625-5590 and they will be able to tell you estimation of when your CR will be dispatched and if your fingerprints were accepted, not what is the outcome of the search of course. If your fingerprints were not accepted, you will know right a away and you can start again instead of waiting for how many more weeks to get their rejection letter. According to the info they collected, some say you can send multiple fingerprints, some say they learned from FBI that they will just pick the best one and scan that one, throw all the others out without even trying. Anyways: go to specialized agency or RCMP, do not take the fingerprints yourself.

Also, take a pic of the application when it's ready to go, the courier slip and the delivery details, also the prinscreen of the waiting time for FBI background check on their website and communicate with CIC that it will take quite some time before you get this document.

Hope this helps, T

Change VO is not the right words at this stage of yours, rather you should have requested Ottawa VO to allow your wife to get her passport stamped from NDVO.

How many of the march PPR people had LMIA or a job offer?
Just wondering if they are sending PPR to people who had LMIA when they applied?

Hello guys,

I've got a couple of minor questions regarding PPR. If anybody could guide me on those I'd greatly appreciate that.

1. It's said in the letter "Quote your application number on your correspondence". Should I just write down my application number on the envelope?

2. They also asked for 2 pictures for each applicant. Must those pictures be the exact same pictures I used in my EE application, or I can make new ones? The pictures I enclosed in my EE application are 9 month old. Are they still good or not?

Thanks to anyone who find it worth answering. I understand that those are not very important things, but it would really suck to screw smth up at the very end of this stressful journey.

Yes you should and you can also mentioned on the top of biodata form maybe

2. They also asked for 2 pictures for each applicant. Must those pictures be the exact same pictures I used in my EE application, or I can make new ones? The pictures I enclosed in my EE application are 9 month old. Are they still good or not?
I think it is better if you have a recent photograph. I am sure you won't be looking that different in 9 months

Hello everyone, I have to submit a police certificate from RCMP Canada, and have already obtained it. When I am trying to upload it to my CIC application, it asks for "Expiry Date". However, there is no expiry date specified on the certificate I got. What should I fill in there? Any suggestions?????

Thanks!!!

Help Help..Asivad and other seniors

I Have applied PR under express entry (ITA 22 may). My work permit is expired and I had applied restoration to keep my status valid. I do have a valid provincial nomination under EE .

My question : Can I leave canada and wait for my PR in my home country as restoration will take at least 4 months?

I didn't know either, but decided to put 1 year. No problem after that.
