Why Choose Us for NBI Clearance in London

London is the largest city in southwestern Ontario and home to a well-established Filipino-Canadian community. Ontario has the largest Filipino population in Canada, and London’s Filipino community has grown steadily through federal and provincial immigration, family sponsorship, and the International Mobility Program. Filipinos in London work across healthcare (London Health Sciences Centre, St. Joseph’s Health Care London), post-secondary education (Western University, Fanshawe College), manufacturing, the automotive supply chain, and caregiving — industries that frequently require police clearances for employment verification, professional licensing, and immigration applications.

London is about a two-hour drive from our Toronto office near Eglinton Station, so London clients have two options: visit our Toronto office in person for a walk-in consultation and document drop-off, or use our fully remote service from the comfort of your home. Either way, you avoid the Philippine Consulate General (which does not issue NBI clearances directly) and let our team handle the process end to end.

Remote or Walk-In

You choose how to apply. Submit everything online and have your clearance mailed to London, or drive in to our Toronto office near Eglinton Station for a walk-in appointment. Either way, we handle the rest.

Full-Service Processing

We handle everything. From preparing your application and coordinating fingerprinting to submitting directly to the NBI in Manila and tracking your result — you do not have to worry about a single step. We keep you informed throughout the entire process.

Legal Support

Backed by JCA Law Office. If your NBI clearance comes back with a HIT or derogatory record, our licensed team can help you resolve it. We handle NBI HIT verifications, record corrections, and provide legal guidance — something no other NBI service in Canada offers.


NBI Clearance Services & London Pricing

We offer straightforward pricing with no hidden fees. Ontario applies the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) at 13%, which is the combined federal and provincial rate. All prices include delivery to your London address.

NBI Renewal

$99+tax · 2–3 weeks

For Filipino nationals who already have a previous NBI clearance issued from 2014 onwards. No fingerprinting required — we process your renewal using your existing NBI record. This is the most common service for London clients renewing expired clearances for IRCC submissions.

First-Time NBI Application

$149+tax · 4–6 weeks

For first-time applicants who have never obtained an NBI clearance, or whose last clearance was issued before 2014. This service includes a mail-in fingerprint kit or coordination with an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting provider in the London area. We guide you through every step.

NBI HIT Resolution

Contact us for pricing

If your NBI clearance returns with a HIT (a match against a record in the NBI database), our legal team at JCA Law Office can help resolve it. We handle verification requests, coordinate with the NBI and relevant Philippine agencies, and work to get your clearance issued. Learn more about NBI HIT resolution.


How to Get NBI Clearance from London — Step by Step

Getting your NBI clearance from London is simple. You can do it entirely from home or drive in to our Toronto office. Here is how it works:

Step 1: Submit Your Application Online

Start by completing our online application form. You will provide your personal details, upload a copy of your valid Philippine passport, and select your service type (renewal or first-time). The entire form takes about five minutes to complete. Once submitted, our team reviews your application within one business day.

Step 2: Fingerprinting (First-Time Applicants Only)

If you are a first-time applicant, you will need to provide fingerprints. You have three options in the London area: use our mail-in fingerprint kit (we send it to your London address and you mail it back), visit an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting provider in London, or drive in to our Toronto office to have it coordinated on site. If you are renewing an existing NBI clearance from 2014 or later, no fingerprinting is required — skip to Step 3.

Step 3: We Process Your Application

Once we have your completed application (and fingerprints, if applicable), we submit everything directly to the National Bureau of Investigation in Manila. We handle all coordination with the NBI, monitor the status of your clearance, and follow up on any delays. You do not need to contact the NBI yourself.

Step 4: NBI Clearance Issued

When your NBI clearance is issued, we verify that all details are correct and that your clearance is ready for its intended use — whether that is an IRCC immigration application, an employer background check, or a professional licensing requirement.

Step 5: Delivery or Pickup

Your completed NBI clearance can be shipped directly to your London address via tracked courier, or you can pick it up at our Toronto office. Most London clients choose mail delivery, which takes two business days from Toronto. We also provide a digital copy for urgent IRCC submissions.


NBI Clearance for London’s Filipino Community

London has a long-established Filipino-Canadian community, with newcomers arriving through multiple immigration streams over the past several decades. The community is spread across neighbourhoods like Masonville, Stoney Creek (north London), Westmount, Byron, and the south London suburbs, with a visible presence in and around Western University and Fanshawe College. Catholic parishes, Filipino-Canadian associations, and Filipino grocery and restaurant businesses serve the community across southwestern Ontario.

For many Filipino-Canadians in London, an NBI clearance is a recurring need. Whether you are sponsoring a spouse or parent through IRCC, applying for permanent residence through Express Entry or the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), renewing a professional license, or completing an employment background check, a valid NBI clearance from the Philippines is almost always required.

Common reasons London clients request NBI clearance include:

  • Express Entry and Federal Skilled Worker applications — IRCC requires police clearances from every country where you lived for six months or more since age 18.
  • Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) — Provincial nominee applicants must provide police clearances as part of their federal PR application stage, including Employer Job Offer, Human Capital Priorities, and Masters Graduate streams.
  • Spousal and family sponsorship — Both sponsors and sponsored persons may need NBI clearances for admissibility checks.
  • Caregiver programs — Home child care and home support worker applicants require police clearances from their country of origin.
  • Employment and professional licensing — Many London employers, particularly in healthcare (London Health Sciences Centre, St. Joseph’s), education (Western, Fanshawe, Thames Valley DSB), insurance, and public service, require international police clearances as part of their hiring process.
  • Canadian citizenship applications — Applicants may need to provide police clearances to demonstrate admissibility.

The Philippine Consulate General in Toronto does not issue NBI clearances directly, so London residents previously had to navigate a complex process involving consulate visits and mail submissions to Manila. Our service eliminates that complexity. We process your NBI clearance directly with the NBI in Manila, bypassing the consulate process altogether, and deliver the result to your door in London — or to our Toronto office for pickup if you prefer.


Frequently Asked Questions — NBI Clearance London, Ontario

Can I visit your Toronto office from London?

Yes. Our office near Eglinton Station is about a two-hour drive from London, or accessible by VIA Rail or Greyhound plus TTC. Some London clients visit in person for a walk-in consultation, document drop-off, or clearance pickup. You can also book an appointment in advance. Visit our Toronto page for directions and office hours. That said, most London clients find it more convenient to use our fully remote service.

Where can I get fingerprinted for NBI clearance in London?

If you are a first-time NBI applicant, you will need to provide fingerprints. You can use our mail-in fingerprint kit, visit an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting provider in London, or come to our Toronto office where we can coordinate fingerprinting on site. There are several accredited providers in London. We can recommend a provider near you when you apply. For more information about NBI fingerprinting options, visit our guide. If you are renewing an existing NBI clearance (issued 2014 or later), fingerprinting is not required.

How long does it take to get NBI clearance delivered to London?

NBI renewals typically take 2–3 weeks from application to delivery. First-time applications take 4–6 weeks because of the additional fingerprinting step. Once your clearance is issued and verified, we ship it to London via tracked courier — delivery usually takes one to two business days from our Toronto office. For urgent IRCC deadlines, we also provide a digital copy as soon as your clearance is issued. Check our NBI clearance guide for detailed timeline information.

What documents do I need to apply for NBI clearance from London?

You will need a valid Philippine passport (or a clear copy of one). For first-time applicants, you will also need to provide fingerprints using our mail-in kit or through an RCMP-accredited provider. No other Philippine government documents are required to start your application. If you are applying for IRCC or OINP purposes, we recommend having your immigration application reference number ready so we can note it on your clearance if needed. Visit our FAQ page for a complete list of requirements.

What happens if my NBI clearance has a HIT?

An NBI HIT means your name matched a record in the NBI database. This does not necessarily mean you have a criminal record — it can happen due to common Filipino names or clerical issues. If your clearance comes back with a HIT, our legal team at JCA Law Office handles the resolution process. We coordinate with the NBI and relevant Philippine agencies to verify and clear the record, then resubmit for a clean clearance. This is a service unique to NBI Renewal Canada — most other providers cannot help with HIT resolution. Learn more about NBI HIT resolution.
