Why Choose Us for NBI Clearance in Calgary
Calgary has one of the fastest-growing Filipino communities in Canada, with over 175,000 Filipinos calling Alberta home. Many work in the oil and gas, healthcare, and hospitality sectors â industries that frequently require police clearances for employment verification, professional licensing, and immigration applications. Despite this large community, there is no Philippine Consulate in Calgary or anywhere in Alberta. The nearest consulate is in Vancouver, making in-person applications impractical and expensive.
That is exactly why our fully remote service exists. We eliminate the need to travel to Vancouver or Toronto. From the comfort of your home in Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, or anywhere in Alberta, you can get your NBI clearance processed by a professional, legally-backed team with nearly a decade of experience.

How to Get NBI Clearance from Calgary â Step by Step
Getting your NBI clearance from Calgary is simple. Our streamlined process is designed so you never have to leave your home or visit any government 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 two options: use our mail-in fingerprint kit (we send it to your Calgary address and you mail it back), or visit an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting provider in Calgary. There are several accredited providers in the Calgary area, and we can recommend one near you. If you are renewing an existing NBI clearance from 2014 or later, no fingerprinting is required â 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 â whether that is an IRCC immigration application, an employer background check, or a professional licensing requirement.
Step 5: Delivery to Calgary
Your completed NBI clearance is shipped directly to your Calgary address via tracked courier. You will receive a tracking number as soon as it is dispatched. Most Calgary clients receive their clearance within two to three business days of shipment. We also provide a digital copy for urgent IRCC submissions.
NBI Clearance for Calgary’s Filipino Community
Calgary is home to one of the largest and fastest-growing Filipino communities in Canada. Alberta’s Filipino population exceeds 175,000, with a significant concentration in Calgary and Edmonton. The community has deep roots in the province, driven by decades of migration into Alberta’s key industries â oil and gas, healthcare, construction, and hospitality.
For many Filipino-Canadians in Calgary, 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 Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP), renewing a professional license, or completing an employment background check, a valid NBI clearance from the Philippines is almost always required.
Common reasons Calgary clients request NBI clearance include:
- Express Entry and Federal Skilled Worker applications â IRCC requires police clearances from every country where you lived for six months or more since age 18.
- Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) â Provincial nominee applicants must provide police clearances as part of their federal PR application stage.
- Spousal and family sponsorship â Both sponsors and sponsored persons may need NBI clearances for admissibility checks.
- Caregiver programs â Home child care and home support worker applicants require police clearances from their country of origin.
- Employment and professional licensing â Many Alberta employers, particularly in healthcare and education, require international police clearances as part of their hiring process.
- Canadian citizenship applications â Applicants may need to provide police clearances to demonstrate admissibility.
Because there is no Philippine Consulate in Alberta, many Calgary residents previously had to fly to Vancouver or mail documents to the consulate there â an expensive and time-consuming process with unpredictable timelines. Our service eliminates that entirely. We process your NBI clearance directly with the NBI in Manila, bypassing the consulate process altogether, and deliver the result to your door in Calgary.
Frequently Asked Questions â NBI Clearance Calgary
Where can I get fingerprinted for NBI clearance in Calgary?
If you are a first-time NBI applicant, you will need to provide fingerprints. You can use our mail-in fingerprint kit, which we ship to your Calgary address, or visit an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting provider in the Calgary area. There are several accredited providers throughout Calgary and surrounding communities like Airdrie and Cochrane. 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.
Do I need to visit the Philippine Consulate for NBI clearance?
No. There is no Philippine Consulate in Calgary â the nearest one is in Vancouver. However, our service does not require a consulate visit at all. We process your NBI clearance directly with the National Bureau of Investigation in Manila, so you never need to visit or contact any Philippine consulate. Everything is handled remotely from our Toronto office and delivered to your Calgary address.
How long does it take to get NBI clearance delivered to Calgary?
NBI renewals typically take 2â3 weeks from application to delivery. First-time applications take 4â6 weeks because of the additional fingerprinting step. Once your clearance is issued and verified, we ship it to Calgary via tracked courier â delivery usually takes two to three business days within Canada. 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 Calgary?
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 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 â 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 â most other providers cannot help with HIT resolution. Learn more about NBI HIT resolution.
