RCMP sent results on 15th Aug and today i confirmed calling IRCC, They said FP received, But no update on tracker yet.
There is option at end of test to send results to your email, But its not officially sent by IRCC. You will see update on tracker in 2-10 days.
For Security Screening, there are no timelines. This all depends on how quick other countries respond etc. I've seen it take days, weeks, months and even years.
This is not completely correct, here is how it works.
Most fingerprints requests are sent by the Vancouver office (almost 80-85% applicants) irrespective of your local processing office. When they send the request, the fingerprints requests does appear on the tracker and also gets updated when they receive it. The BG gets marked as completed the next day (provided the secuity clearance is already in place).
Recently, (in the past 2 months) few applicants started receiving the FP request from the CPC Sydney office. They DO NOT update the tracker either with the fingerprints sent request or the receipt of FP. They only mark the BG as completed once they receive the Fingerprints report. Maybe it is a new process for them as they just started or they might follow Vancouver and start updating the tracker, only time will tell.
A very tiny number of applicants, from Quebec get the FP request from Montreal office. They also don't update the tracker with FP details.

Added to the spreadsheet.
Security screening is done by a third party CSIS and IRCC have no control on it. Your BG will be marked as completed after these 2 are completed:
1. FP report received by IRCC from RCMP and
2. Security clearance from CSIS.
