I´m sponsoring my wife who lived in 3 different US states. Should she provide State Police Certificates from all of them?
Also, should she provide FBI, and whichever state certificate with her original application, or can it be provided at a later time?
I tried searching for an answer to this question, but could not find one.
I would greatly appreciate any help from participants of this forum.

Alex,
We submitted FBI fingerprint reports only.
I didn´t know that one has to submit state police clearances.. Are you sure? Before you are killing yourself trying to get something you don´t need to, try to read CAREFULLY page B-1 of the Application Instructions for Buffalo (Find it here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/E37048.pdf). All you will find in the USA section, is CIC talking about FBI.. and FBI again. No state police mentioned there..
For your convenience I am also posting that entire fragment here. Enjoy! :)

You must provide:
? A copy of our letter requesting that you obtain a Police Record Check (PC-1 letter enclosed). Affix your own name and address label.
? A full set of fingerprints. Fingerprints should be provided on the FBI fingerprint card, but fingerprints may be obtained from a local police department as long as you have proof of your identity, or from a private organization engaged in the fingerprinting business. Do not contact any FBI office for fingerprinting. You may request a blank fingerprint form by writing to the FBI at this address:
FBI, Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS Division)
Attention: SCU Mod D-2
1000 Custer Hollow Road
Clarksburg, West Virgina 26306 USA
? Certified cheque or money order for US $18 made payable to the U.S. Treasury.
? Always specify that you require fingerprints for Canadian Immigration purposes.
Processing times may take between three and six weeks. The FBI will send you the results. You should send the fingerprints with any attached documents from the FBI to the Regional Program Centre. All police certificates must be originals. Photocopies will not be accepted.
Good Luck!

Gotta read all the way to the bottom, people!

Blah, blah, blah . . .

If you have lived in the United States, you must provide a
state certificate in addition to a national FBI certificate.

Oromum,
I now see the difference between the two documents..
My link is from the skilled worker application instructions, while yours is for family sponsorship. Since Alex sponsors his wife, your response is definitely more appropriate.
That "state certificate in addition to a national FBI certificate" sentence is definitely missing in my document, so I wonder now, ..do I need the additional state police certificate for a skilled worker application? If anyone had to do it, (as in "asked by CIC",) please respond, as I am nearing my IA and would love to have everything in place by then :)
