Quick update : I have called IRCC on Monday again to check if anything changed, I have mentioned to the agent that as per GCMS Fingerprints were required since Feb 20th and i have never received any request. The agent was kind enough to post a message to the officer to check if FP were indeed required, so i have now received a FP ( email) request yesterday. Though the tracker doesn't show anything.
Hope that helps someone has been waiting since Jan\Feb with no progress.

Question to the group :
1) Did the FP request get updated on the tracker ? I have received email yesterday morning and its not updated yet on tracker.
2) how long did it take for you to get your BG complete, from FP submission ?

@ishankp , @OutOfScar , @Ali.arshady FYI
Hi @Aishaadi can you please share phone number and further selections that helped you connect to an agent? Thanks!

Thanks for providing the update, I also received the email last morning so I believe it must be that IRCC is batching applications, It is not yet updated in the tracker for me but I guess the update can be delayed by 2 days so hopefully tomorrow. Vancouver used to take 2-3 weeks based on what I have been reading on various forums but I believe you must have received the email from Sydney. There is no data on that office from what I could see in various forums I have been following. Lets hope for the best and hope its smooth from here on out
Good to know @OutOfScar , do you see your Fingerprints request in the tracker ? ( I do not see mine - only the email ) ...Looks like it will only show when the FP are received by IRCC ?
Anyways lets wait and see , i gave my FP on June 28th and called RCMP today and confirmed my details are mailed to IRCC on July 3rd ..So hopefully will see some update in 3 weeks or so..

Yes, it didn't show up in the tracker for me also, I just got a ghost update on the 28th. Could you please help me with the number that you called RCMP on?

Yep, same ghost update for me as well on June 28th. RCMP - 1-833-541-3089, have your DCN number ready to check the status. They can only tell if RCMP received your FP and sent to IRCC, but no tracking on mail to IRCC. Seems it will take ~10 days for the mail to reach IRCC.
