Police clearance certificate for Canadian PR

[Lost_Horizon]

Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding applying at Buffalo :

- Do we need to submit the FBI cert right at the beginning ?
- Do we need to get a Police Certificate from India ? (The application info
says the Canadian Consulate will enquire and we don\'t need to get a
PC from India)
-I\'m doing this as a backup to my US GC process (have been FP-ed already).
Is there any potential problem in following both US and Canadian PR process ?

thanks a lot

1. Yes you need FIB crealrance certificate at the time
of filing, and you can get in less than 3-weeks time. I
you submit it later, but it\'s advisable & this may delay or
cause problem for your processing. Make sure you submit every
required document mentioned in Checklist along with the
forms is complete and submitted in the beginning itself.

2. You don\'t need police certificate from India, as Canadian
consulate do police enquiry from your native place own their
 if they need to. only thing you\'ve to sign on the application
form and give them authority to release your police record.

I hope answered your questions. I just applied my PR three weeks
back at Bufallo and already gone through this procedure. My
case is same, as my US AC got screwed too and I\'m not
sure when I\'m going to get it. So the safe harbor for we H-1 guys
is to keep a backup atleast. I would say go for it.
