I want to share this so that you can avoid the delay that I have just experienced with the FBI fingerprint checking process.
To get a certificate of "no criminal record" (i.e., fingerprinting check) from FBI, send them the following documents:
1. Letter from the Canadian Consulate General
2. Completed FBI fingerprint forms
3. Cashier's check ($18/person)
4. Pre-paid, self-addressed return envelope
5. Cover Letter explaining the request with the signatures of ALL the individuals whose record is requested
I sent all the above-mentioned documents to FBI on 02/09/2004. FBI informed me today (when I called them) that they had mailed the unprocessed package back to me because my wife had not signed the cover letter. That's a one-month delay that could have been avoided had I called in and checked with FBI first.
