Ok, I´m curious now and I´ve read through the whole inland application guide, and this is the one ambiguous statement:
"Certificates/Clearances are normally issued by police authorities, but in come countries you will have to apply to municipal, provincial, federal, or other government authorities. You may be asked to pay a fee for this service. The country´s embassy or consulate may be able to give you additional information"
Can they ever just speak english?

Amen.
I read through the outside canada guide, and it does specify for state clearances, but the inland doesn´t.
Now i´ve got one more worry, granted, I can spend more money and get the damn certificates that will say nothing lol but...
I was raised by my mother, and tho she remarried, the man she remarried didn´t adopt me, and I have no idea who my biological father is, and my birth certificate even shows no father listed. will this be a problem? :(
thanks guys and gals-

You said you were raised by your MOTHER....if she is your biological mother (if you are notan adopted son)then she can tell you the name of your Father...i wonder why u dont have any father´s name in your birth certificate....because you said your mother remarried, means she was first married to your father and then for any given reason she left your father and remarried....your whole case does not make any sense to me....i dont know if others can get any idea on what you wrote.....

Well, you can´t be the first person who didn´t know who their biological father was. I would just put "unknown", I can´t see them faulting you for that.
With the state clearance, I´m not sure there´s a clear set of rules for this, it may be at the discretion of the assessing officer, whether or not they request it.
The first time we applied (under conjugal partner) we discussed with our consultant an inland vs. out-of application. The state clearance thing was a concern for us because my husband had an 18 yr old DUI charge in California (from 1987). At the time we were told for out-of Canada apps only FBI was required, but for inland, they wanted everything. It didn´t show up on his FBI but figured it would show up for sure on his California State clearance. Enough time had elapsed we could have applied for a pardon, but it was just more time and paperwork involved and we didn´t want to have to deal with it.
We only sent FBI with our first application and were never asked for state clearance. That application ended up being refused anyway (no impediment to marriage) so I don´t know if they would have ever requested it at some point or not.
This time around (now married) we decided to do another out-of Canada application, for various reasons, including the DUI issue. Between last year and this year they put in that clause about requiring additional state clearance if you´ve lived in the US. We compared it to our first application and it´s like they plonked it in there as an afterthought.
We asked our consultant for clarification, and she told us that state clearance IS required for BOTH inland and out-of now. So, we had to go through the process of getting state clearance for 3 different states. We recently learned that California has a 7-year drop-off law on DUI´s, so his charge never showed up anyway (after all that, ugh!)
That´s the only reason I know this. But as for clear-cut guidelines, I´m not sure they exisit. And who do you believe?!?! It´s frustrating, I know.
Personally, if it were me (and having been through the process I know how persnickety they can be just because they can) I would go ahead and apply for them anyway. The cost is minimal (under $30 each). It´ll take a few weeks to get them in, but if by chance they do request them 2 months down the road, you´ll have them and can send them right away, rather than applying for them at that time and delaying the processing of your application by 4-6 weeks.
But that´s me :D
Good luck!

STEVE - my mother MARRIED for the first time to a man that was NOT my BIO father when i was 5.. she never married my biological, that was a type on my part... she divorced and remarried when I was 15. Neither of her husbands adopted me to be a legal parent. I do not know this man, my mother will not speak of him and has had nothing to do with him since before I was born. He was not listed on my birth certificate because my mother had no contact and didn´t wish to, and was basically MIA. I don´t need your input or advice if you´re going to critize and jump to conclusions to things you don´t understand. Thanks anway.
Chelle-
I think i´ll go ahead and get them in the next couple weeks. what the hell right? lol And I put on my fathers information on the application "UNKNOWN" and "see birth certificate" as that is the only proof I have that I never had a birth father or even had a male figure adopt me as such. I don´t know what other proof i could provide other than a statement from my mother, and the fact that she never tried to get child support or anything. *shrugs*
thanks for the help tho! let me know if you hear anything back too! :D

Hi,
I applied under Skilled Worker and I included Police Clearance form the 2 states I lived in. I inquired over the phone. You can request the clearance using the CIC provided request letter. I just had my interview and the visa officer did not say anything about the police clearance being unuseful. I agree with FWChelle...the amount is minimal...so go ahead...apply for it.

FBI times (in reply to: FBI/Police Clearance - Part 2)
I was told the FBI clearance would take 4 months and I received mine in less than a month! So cross your fingers and pray that the process times are fast.
