pharm said:Are you referring to applicant who are residing in US? if so, everyone has to provide a FBI record to CPC-Ottawa because the applicant cannot choose CPC-Ottawa unless he has been legally admitted to US for at least a year ( according to CIC) so the applicant needs FBI report because he is already pass 6 months in US( everyone who lived in any country more than 6 months has to provide police certificate for that country).
I am refering to Canadian residents, who don't need FBI clearence.
