Apologies for a newbie question on this thread.
I was requested for a fingerprint as a part of my citizenship application. My understanding is that these are for the criminality check part of the background check.
My question: Does a criminality check always imply that the security screening will also be enhanced and take a couple of months longer than usual applications. OR Can a person be referred for criminality check and still have the security screening portion completed pretty quickly?
I am not concerned about not meeting any of the above stages. Just want my application to be done sooner than later. My test was clear before I got the finger print request. My wife who applied with me has her background check cleared. We both have the similar history and are applying from the same country of origin.
