This is a question regarding police certificate requirement when applying for Canadian Citizenship/PR if I lived more than 183 days in USA in last 4 years.

This official cic link suggests the process:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/united-states.html

From this link
" All police certificates must be originals. Photocopies will not be accepted. "

The word "original" confused me a little .. What does this mean for online FBI reports (FBI recently started this faster online way to get the background check) - are they considered Original (in reality you are just printing that off of a secured link and therefore un-distinguishable from a photocopy - or maybe I am missing something here)?

Thanks,
Vivek

You can upload the pdf you downloaded from the FBI site. I did that, and I got PR.
Thanks! I was worried about this as well
