It used to be on the USA Country Specific Guide when the Appendixes were A-D instead of A-C. I believe it used to be under section B where they gave you the security/police clearance information and then they took it off. But I keep reading that even in 2009 people have sent it in... I'm just wondering if anyone HASN'T sent it in and what difference that makes. You won't find the form on CIC's website from what I understand now, but you can search it online.
It's an authorization by visa applicant for release of police and court records to the Canadian Consulate General. The problem is that it gives you a tiny little box to write you and your spouse's list of all dates and addresses in of residence in ____ (name country or countries). My husband was illegal in the US for ten years and lived in near 20 different places (slight exagguration, haha, but still) so I'd really just prefer not sending this in to the FBI. The FBI website doesn't even list this form as being needed (but then again, it's just a generic list - cover letter, fingerprints, payment - that doesn't include aything about Canadian Immigration, of course).
So basically... summing it up... I'm curious to see how many Buffalo applicants sent in the PC-1 form with their FBI fingerprints, cover letter & payment and whether or not it really makes a difference now.
