You must get plice cert. for all places you lived for over 6 months, but you dont need it in order to file the I-130 petition for the CR-1. But you will need it later down the road.

Not sure how you get one from Canada. Im sure someone else will advise you on that one. Good Luck.

This will be needed at the NVC stage of your process.

For Canada look here:

Outside Canada: Applicants who are not physically present in Canada must obtain a Certified Criminal Record Check by sending a duplicate set of fingerprints (taken by a local police force) to the RCMP. Fingerprint submissions must include the following:

• rolled and flat impressions of all ten fingers taken with black ink (may use a standard FD-258 FBI fingerprint card)

• full name, date of birth, and sex of the applicant

• the name and address of the police agency taking the fingerprints

• the signature of the official taking the fingerprints

• the reason for the fingerprint submission (U.S. visa)

• the processing fee of CAD 25.00 or USD 18.00, payable to the "Receiver General for Canada" by certified check or money order.

Fingerprint submissions should be sent to: RCMP, Civil Fingerprint Screening Services, P.O. Box 8885, Ottawa, ON, K1G 3M8. Additional information is available online. http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cr-cj/fing-empr-eng.htm

Do bear in mind that if you get digital fingerprints it takes only 72 hours for them to process but if you get ink fingerprints it takes minimum 120 days - I just came up against this myself (luckily I be able to should get away with not having one as I was only there for 11 1/2 months). So make sure you allow plenty of time!
