Hi there!

So I have gotten in my application for PR, but my police check had not come so I sent them a letter explaining why, as well as confirmation of my background check application being delivered to the FBI.

Right now the FBI is going to mail it back to me, and then I will mail it to the appropriate place BUT...where is that? Can I upload a copy and email it/upload it to my application or do I mail in the police check?

Someone also said I could have the FBI email the police check directly to Canadian Immigration but I'm not sure how, especially since they already have my application.

Any advice would be great! I have a hard time finding things on the CIC/FBI website....

Yes. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

or do I mail in the police check? Only if the original hardcopy is requested by IRCC.

"Police certificates must be a scan of the original certificate(s) in colour. "

"NOTE: CIC will not accept police certificates sent by mail for Express Entry applications."
