I sent in my FBI request and noted "immigration", not "canadian immigration". Will this pose a problem?

"Immigration" is fine as the reason.
If you don't put a date on the outside of the envelope, they might still open it quickly.
The CJIS number is (304)625-5590 option#3. You will get a live person and you can ask when they received your request and whether it will be expedited.

Did you put a deadline on your application?

I think you'll still be ok. Keep in mind that the people who answer the phones are not the same as those doing the background checks.
I suggest you call back and ask two things very politely:
1) when did they receive your application?
2) does it show in their database that your application has a deadline?
Everything is put into a database the moment they open it. So they should be able to answer these two questions.
Good luck.

they said they received it and i will get it end of november, i planned on filing end of october. 2 options
1) resend prints to FBI with a date of October 15 or so and hope they come back by then
2) file PR app on schedule and just send in FBI check a month later.
Will me sending it in a month later delay my processing time?I want the shorted route possible.I am filing outside canada thru Buffalo. Family class-Spousal.

I would choose option 1 if you want to make sure you receive the background check in time. I think they'll return your application if all the documents aren't included.
To make your FBI request go faster, you could send them a prepaid courier envelope to return your background check. It will save you a few days. I suggest you send them a USPS Express Mail envelope with enough stamps to cover postage. Second, pay the $18 fee by credit card (there's a form for this on the FBI website). And finally, make sure you put your deadline on both the outside of the mailing envelope and your application.
