Hi All, I did my fingerprints today at Calgary so please do you know how long does it take to be sent to IRCC?
Also while doing the fingerprints the clerk showed me the screen to check if my name and DOB is correct and I found out a spelling mistake so she corrected it and had to do some process to ensure the system has the correct information. This made me so worried that maybe there are more errors made by her which I don’t know!! Luckily I checked by my eyes that she entered the right UCI & application number. Also she passed my driving license through a device which I don’t know (maybe scanner?).
Is it possible that they can make errors in the fingerprints which can delay our fingerprints? Or they rely on UCI? They rely on our documents? Human error is always a possibility
Would you please advise if you have any information?

Hi,

I did my finger prints on Jan 10th.. checked yesterday with RCMP and they confirmed that the result was mailed to IRCC next day on Jan 11th.. so I called IRCC today to douple check and they confirmed that they received it and the system was updated "Today" that I passed this step and to wait for next step which I beleive is the test invite !
According to RCMP website; finger prints might take 3 business days or less if there is "NO MATCH" add to it the mailing process which might take another week.. So I would say in total 10 days if everything went smooth.

Question folks...has anyone used their Diploma or Higher education certificate to show English proficiency..it is mentioned as a option but all my friends have taken Celpip...my thought is if I can use something I already have what is the point of spending another $200 on a test. Waiting to hear something on this and if someone used this option some pointers might be helpful..thanks in advance

Yes I did and it worked. Sent in my BA degree from an UK university and the transcript and that was fine.

Thank you so much. Please can you share the phone number for RCMP to call for a follow up? Do they need any tracking number for them to check my report?

Thanks !

I went through the following tests :
http://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/index.cfm
http://www.v-soul.com/onlinetest/
https://www.apnatoronto.com/canadian-citizenship-test-practice/

They're definitely useful, but reading the book thouroughly is a must. I came into one or 2 questions I haven't seen in any website.
No need to worry about the questions specific to your province, you already know who your provincial PM is. Just google the name of your lieutenant governor and you're set
