I have spent 6.5 months in US on H1b in New York and returned back and have never entered again. Now i have filed for Application for PR as my spouse is Canadian Citizen. My question is related to Police clearance certificate from the US.

I have already filed for FBI clearance but i just wanna know shall i file for the state clearance as well. As far as cic website goes it says they will let me know in case it needs state clearance. I just wanna know shall i go ahead and file for state clearance as well where as it is clearly stated in the CIC website

""Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?

Yes. Applicants should provide a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) certificate with fingerprints. State certificates may also be requested. The Visa Office will advise you if state certificates are required in your case.""


Please advice. Many thanks in advance.

If you can afford it, why not do it? Doesn't hurt your application at all.

We did it for my husband, he has lived in four different states, so we did one for each.
