  How can I get a police certificate from FBI.
I amp applying for a visa to immigrate to Canada. For I spent 10 months in the U.S. as a visiting teacher during 1998-1999, I am required a certificate from FBI. Now I am in China. How do I have my finger printed? What should I do to get the certificate?

OBTAINING A POLICE CERTIFICATE


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO OBTAIN A POLICE CERTIFICATE FROM AUTHORITIES IN THE UNITED STATES

Applicants requiring Police Certificates who are currently present in the
United States or who have stayed in the U.S. for six months or more MUST
obtain police clearance from the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (FBI).

STEP ONE - HAVE A FULL SET OF FINGERPRINTS TAKEN BY A RECOGNIZED AGENCY:

Fingerprints for U.S. record checks should be taken on the FBI FINGERPRINT
FORM. Do not contact any FBI office regarding fingerprinting. A Fingerprint
Form can be obtained by requesting one by mail from the FBI at the address
listed below.

Fingerprints can usually be taken in the U.S. by a LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Persons MAY also be fingerprinted at a regional office of the DEPT. OF MOTOR
VEHICLES, or from a private organization engaged in the fingerprinting
business. The applicant should always specify when making a fingerprinting
request that it is required for Canadian immigration purposes.

Applicants appearing for fingerprinting will also need PHOTO IDENTIFICATION,
such as a passport. They should also be prepared to provide fingerprinting
agents with details including full name, maiden name, any aliases, date of
birth, sex, race, social security number, proof of identity, and the reason
for requesting fingerprinting (Canadian immigration purposes).

A fee will usually be charged for fingerprinting. Fees vary according to the
location where the applicant is fingerprinted.
STEP TWO - SEND FINGERPRINTS ALONG WITH A PROCESSING FEE TO THE FBI:

Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS Division),
Attn: SCU, Mod. D-2,
1000 Custer Hollow Road,
Clarksburg, West Virginia, U.S.A., 26306.

A CERTIFIED CHECK OR MONEY ORDER for U.S. $18 should be made payable to
"Treasury of the United States".
Processing usually takes between 6 and 8 weeks. The FBI will send the
applicant the results of their check by RETURNING their fingerprint card.
THAT IS THE APPLICANT´S POLICE CERTIFICATE.
STEP THREE - SEND THE POLICE CERTIFICATE TO THE CANADIAN VISA OFFICE
PROCESSING YOUR APPLICATION
