Oh got Cha! So basically I have to make a new profile under a different email address and reapply? Also, can you please advise if I should mention that I’ve applied in the past on my previous application?
You should not exclude any information that they´ll find out anyway. Try reaching out directly to IRCC or get professional advice from a lawyer since your case seems more complex than just missing documentation.

I just got denied for express entry as I didn't provide them a valid police certificate for the USA.. Now i need to know what my options are? Can I reapply? I believe you can only apply once a year also my post graduate work permit expires in September. Is there any way I can extend my work permit?

Or should I apply for schools? would it be possible for me to get a student permit if I go back to school? Just need to view my options.

Any help is appreciated.
Hi, can you be more specific as to why wasn't it a valid USA police certificate? Did you think of challenging the decision?

They will ask you if you have previously applied for PR and you have to enter the application number that got rejected.

I didn’t go to FBI to get my certificate which is why it was rejected. I wasn’t aware that is what I had to do. Instead I reached out to a police department to obtain it. They didn’t review my docs any further and said my profile was incomplete.

I didn't know I had to obtain it from FBI for the united states. I just reached the police department online and they provided it to me. on the letter it states that my profile is incomplete.

If you still want to come to Canada as a skilled immigrant, you must submit a new Express Entry profile through your MyCIC account. If you choose to submit a new Express Entry profile, you must make sure your documents are valid on:

Does the above mean that I can reapply? I applied as a Canadian experience not skilled immigrant.
Why did you have to obtain it from the FBI? Doesn’t make sense :/

Because those are the clear instructions for US police certificates. You have to prove you are not a criminal nationally, not just in your town of Podunk, IL.
Oh I see Quick question , I’ve been in Canada since I was 18, would I need to provide a PCC?

This question is answered painfully clearly in all application guides. If you read the guide about Canadian police certificates and still have a question, post the section of the guide you read and your question and we'll try to answer it.
