I just want to get clarification about the fingerprinting process and how is taking 12-16 weeks from the FBI.
I gather I am suppose to go to the LOCAL PD in the US and give them the immigration Appendix a & b.
They are suppose to run my local history to clear me and GIVE me a original letter. Then finger print me with the finger print cards and give them to me. After that, i just put that along with the rest of the application. With regards to the 12-16 weeks, do i understand that the CIC will send my fingerprints to the FBI for checking and its taking THEM (CIC) 12-16 weeks? Because if I am suppose to be sending it to the FBI, then I am really confuse. can some please clear that up for me?
Now, if I am doing INSIDE-CANADA sponsorship, is it better to mail to the local pd in the us where i live and have them send it to me? or is it ok to do it prior to coming to Canada?
Just to burn the question once again. When I am waiting for AIP, I can look for a job. If i happen to find an employer to hire me and apply for me a working permit, then I can end up working before I receive AIP and OWP? (so long as the employer meets the criteria of special skills that they can't find adn they have advertised for x amount of time etc)
If I am going to do IN-CANADA sponsorship, is better that I do the medical IN CANADA? but i can get the finger printing and background clearances from where I am in the us?
thanks.
