1. Any good consultancy in the US will not have reasonable fees. Expect to pay $3K to $6K.
2. Yes - this is normal. No - there is no better way. You don't have to include the PCC with your original application. You can send it later.
3. Yes - that's fine.

Why would you want to migrate to canada when you are already in the US? Better opportunities in the US!!

Good doubt, if you are in US on F1 visa since 4 yrs and get ur work permit / H1 rejected twice you will understand..lol...instead of wasting time and money waiting for temporary H1 work permit in US , I thought its better to move to Canada on PR.

Scylla has already answered your questions, but I just want to clarify that the 16-18 weeks processing time for FBI report is outdated. Currently, it takes 4-6 weeks on average to get the report once submitted.

1. I would advise you to use lawyer in Canada it should run you 3-4 K (not including government fee);
2. FBI takes 3-4 weeks tops.
3. You can show any US account-perfectly fine. I moved from US in April. Good luck.
