Manual (hard card) submissions are usually slow. I'm in the same situation for FBI clearance (it's been almost a month but the payment hasn't been withdrawn from my bank account yet). The California website (http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/visaimmigration.php) does not specify the timeline, but FBI says it takes 8-10 weeks (I just heard someone received FBI certificate in about 6 weeks). Especially it is now the end of year, so it may even be slower. Anyway, State PCCs are not required at the time of sending application to Buffalo, so I don't think you need to worry about it.

The AINP invitation letter stated that we have to send the 'original Federal Immigration forms' to Canadian Embassy. Does this mean we have to fill up the same federal forms which were sent along with the invitation package, or we can fill the forms on net with our recent updated information (like change of address) , print them and send? Is there any identification that the forms are original ?

If anyone has sent their application to CIC, please clarify.

you have to fill up new form with updated changes like address etc & current date, there have been a few cases in past where the application was returned as the candidate had sent forms which did not have current date.

Thanks a lot desikiVAAT.

So this means I can download the forms from net, fill it up and send !

Did u fill in the Employer address in the FBI fingerprinting card?  i did and later read somewhere that they might send FBI report at my employer address if u write it on the FBI fingerprinting card though on the cover letter i gave my home address for mailing the report.

No, I did not write my employer's information on the fringerprint card.

But even if you put your employer's address on the card, FBI will not send the report to your employer. Here's what FAQ says on FBI website (http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/faqs.html):
Q. Can the FBI send the results to someone (or agency) other than myself?
A. Under the Departmental Order 556-73, the results must go back to the requestor.

So, it should be mailed to requestor's address written on your cover letter.

Hello,

Can we open the envelopes with our PCC reports and then send the reports only to CIC, or do we have to send the received envelopes directly?

Any help appreciated.

1) PCC are valid for 3 months from the date of issue.
2)FBI u will get just one certificate after you submit your fingerprinting card ..... & for the states that u need from ONLY those states where u have resided more than 6 months.
3)No just one PCC from India or any other country u have lived for more than 6 months.... go to the Indian Consulate and file application for PCC..these days indian consulates have become pretty fast with PCC.
