shvr007 , did u send FBI certificates initially to CIC???

may be since your address is in canada thats why they are asking you about it.
 
It's interesting that you should mention that. It is true that I moved to Canada on a work permit in the last couple of months and so updated my address. But still why should that cause the Detroit office to request a new FBI Certificate? Please provide any information on this or if you know of anyone who went through this.

When did you send your CIC application, and what's the date on your FBI report?

Did you voluntarily pick Detroit for your processing?

The CIC applicaiton date and FBI Date were roughly as below:
FBI report Date: Oct/Nov 2009
CIC applied: Jan 19, 2010

Nope, I did not pick Detroit. Infact I do not believe that would even be a choice. Am not even sure when it was moved to Detroit.

Maybe because your FBI is dated before your nomination??? That's almost like 2-3 months before you sent in your CIC application.

It may would have been little above 3 months validity period.

I think the FBI certificate does not really bear any expiry date. It only mentions background check done till such and such date. Probably in your case as your check was done prior to filing CIC thats what triggered a new request.
 
I will have to double check against my application package copy to verify this. I will let you all know later tonight.
