Canadian Permanent Residence
Need fingerprints for your Canadian permanent residence application?
Fingerprinting365 provides professional fingerprinting services for applicants who need fingerprints for police certificates, criminal record checks.
Some permanent residence applicants may be required to provide police certificates from countries where they previously lived. Depending on the country and its requirements, fingerprints may be required to obtain the certificate.
Fingerprints for Police Certificates
If you are required to obtain a police certificate from another country, that country may require you to submit fingerprints with your application.
We can take your fingerprints and provide the required fingerprint documentation for submission to the appropriate police or government authority.
Important: Fingerprints required for a police certificate are not the same as the biometrics collected by IRCC for a permanent residence application.
Who May Need Fingerprints for Immigration?
Requirements vary depending on your immigration program and the country for which the police certificate is required.

If fingerprints are required for a police certificate, bring:
- Two valid government-issued photo identification
- Any fingerprint request letter or instructions provided by IRCC or the foreign authority
- Any required fingerprint form if availiable
- Details of the country or authority requesting the fingerprints
If you have received a specific fingerprint form or request letter, bring it with you to your appointment.
