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.

Sydney does that in the CBSA note you will see in security section which is not hidden it is hidden in the IRCC notes , you will see office 809 which is Sydney assigned it and assigned to officer you will see officer code could be random choice or not but it is not by the system and requested from who , in my case CSIS , and date requested and I just got the second CBSA note , it comes with letter saying information about the specific security is hidden but it is cover what section , mine started April and first CBSA was in July has two section they work in , today after two month , the letter says only one section and that is kind of international name search
Get the CBSA note and you will understand better it doesn’t faster the process it is only for us to know when it started and the progress , although mine not showing any progress , just say in process but kind of I noted the letter has one section vs two section which the security clearance are under now and letter from CSIS notes only says it is under process no section no even start date , passed five month so kind of half way hope get cleared within the 6.5 month

I think for the people who were stuck in BG security and submitted fingerprints, LPP got completed for them in a week or so.
In my case, they haven't even started working on LPP :(
I was stuck in security without a fingerprint request.

good point, as I submitted FP , I though all who stuck in SS already was requested and submitted FP,
I also thought LPP done by local office, but you mentioned RC-8090
Did you contact your local office , ask when my LPP will be done and see what they say,
