Contact your local police station
To obtain an FBI clearance, you must do the following:
Get fingerprinted.
Go to a local police station, other local authority such as Motor Vehicle Bureau, or private fingerprinting agency and obtain a fingerprint form. Complete it and get fingerprinted. You may find a reluctance to fingerprint in the U.S. if you simply state that it is for immigration purposes. This is because U.S. immigration authorities have placed restrictions on fingerprinting for U.S. immigration purposes. So be very clear in explaining that you require fingerprinting for Canadian immigration purposes and you should not have a problem. Some of our clients have advised that they obtained their fingerprints in the U.S. by stating that it was required for a request under Freedom of Information legislation.
You must then forward the completed fingerprint form, with a certified check or money order for US$18 per person made payable to the "U.S. Treasury" to the following address:
