Fingerprinting in Canada for FBI Background Checks

Your FBI Background Check report is generated from the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), one of the largest fingerprint databases in the world, offering true nationwide coverage across the USA. Because the accuracy of your report depends entirely on accurate fingerprint capture, this step becomes critical to the entire process.

Globeia offers both mobile and in-office fingerprinting services on FBI-compliant FD-258 and FD-1164 cards, right here in Canada. You can choose to use our fingerprinting service, or mail your already taken fingerprints to Globeia Inc. in the USA for further processing and submission to the FBI, whichever best suits your needs.

What Information Appears on Your FBI Background Check?

If a person has been fingerprinted in the USA in connection with a crime, the following information will be included in their FBI Background Check:

Originating Agency Identifier (the specific local, state, federal, or tribal law enforcement agency that arrested you.)

The exact date on which the arrest took place.

The exact charges filed against you at the time of arrest.

Court dispositions, whether you were convicted, found not guilty, or if the case was dropped or dismissed.

Details regarding jail or prison time, probation/parole conditions, and any fines imposed.

Notes if a disposition is currently pending, which is referred to as Interim Status. For example, if you're waiting to complete a court-ordered diversion program.

FBI Background Check for Employment, Business, and Education in Canada

An FBI Identity History Summary is frequently requested by employers and academic institutions in Canada as proof of a clean legal history. This document provides verified insight into your criminal record, giving institutions and employers the assurance they need before extending an offer. The same requirement applies to American entrepreneurs looking to start a business in Canada.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Why do I need an FBI Background Check if I am currently living in Canada?

If you are applying for PR, citizenship, certain high-level work permits, study permits, or professional licensing in Canada, or any other country from Canada, immigration authorities require a Criminal Record Check from every country where you have lived for a significant period of time. If that includes the United States, you must provide an official FBI Identity History Summary.

Can Globeia get my FBI background check electronically, or do I still need ink fingerprints?

The FBI strictly requires physical fingerprint verification to issue your Identity History Summary. Globeia helps in this process by processing physical fingerprints through Globeia Inc. in the USA and submitting them to the FBI. You can also choose their fingerprinting services available across Canada.

How long does it take to get an FBI background check from Canada?

An FBI Identity History Summary can take 1-3 days for US citizens and 2-3 weeks for non-US citizens, plus additional transit time for international mailing. This timeline depends entirely upon the FBI, and no service provider can expedite the process.

I'm applying for a Canadian study permit. Do I need an FBI background check?

If you've lived in the USA for a certain period, some Canadian academic institutions or immigration processes may request an FBI Identity History Summary alongside your standard local background checks.

Can I request an FBI background check on behalf of someone else?

No, the FBI requires the subject of the record to submit their own request and fingerprints, as identity verification is tied directly to the fingerprint submission.

Do I need an FBI background check for Canada PR application?

Yes, IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) requires an FBI Criminal Record Check if you've lived in the United States for 6 months or more since the age of 18.

What if I already have my fingerprints taken? Can Globeia still help?

Yes. If you've already completed fingerprinting on an FD-258 card or FD-1164 card through another certified provider, Globeia can take it from there. You just need to fill out the online application and courier your physical cards to Globeia Inc. in the USA for submission to the FBI.
