RCMP mailed but IIRC didnot receive Fingerprints

[nsr]

Hello Folks,

So I contacted RCMP and they said they mailed the result to Vancouver office next business day they received the request. It’s been 12 business days and CIC hasn’t received them yet. Does anyone has any experience like that?

All I know that the RCMP submit the results to CIC electronically so there is no chance to lose a mail here ... I did mine on Feb2 and RCMP submitted the results on Feb5 however COC age net said they were received on the 14th not sure where the delay happens

It's very unlikely such a document would be lost. This is the RCMP we're talking about here!

Some things to consider:

1. There is no FP update e-cas
2. CIC agents may not know how to check it on their end
3. It could take some time to be reflected on their end
4. It could take some time to move from the FP clearance centre to the actual application processing centre

FP clearance centre is Vancouver and my processing centre would be either Vancouver or Surrey. So should not be much delay here.. I guess I have to wait few more days and call them again..

Same thing with my wife's application. Fingerprint given on february 9 and CIC has not received it yet today (march 2). We sent another IRCC webform with the official receipt from RCMP attached. Still waiting. Our concern is it will exceed the 30 days soon and our application will be considered as abandoned.

How do they considered your wife's Citizenship application as abandoned? Since you have done your part. You took the FP and you have the receipt.

My case is more worse I did my FP on Feb 13 and got the Email from RCMP that they have sent the result to CIC on 14 Feb (I just provide them my Name, DoB and UCI#). But unfortunately I lost the receipt for the FP and literally no proof except the Email from RCMP that I have done my FP. Tried to call CIC but because of high call volume couldn't able to connect.

Nothing more I can do. Just waiting and keep on calling.

this is scary! the fingerprint guy (private) i went to in ottawa said the same thing. He said someone(before me) had gotten the fingerprints done and the RCMP mailed (snail mailed with a 2-3$ stamp) to CIC and the mail was lost - it seems. I do not know how the applicant got it confirmed. Hence the fingerprint guy suggested me to get the results from RCMP and then mail it with tracking to the CIC center. That is what i am doing. When the guy told me - i did not completely believe him but none the less asked him to send the results to me.

I have gotten the fingerprints done 3 days ago. The results should in my mail today or tomorrow. I will send it with tracking to the CIC center use Canada post or courier.

I have heard many people say that the CIC call center confirmed that they received the fingerprints. another way to get confirmation would be to get GCMS notes i think!

Is there no way to send the FP electronically? I seem to remember I did that in my PR application..

that is a good question! I think i have heard other members saying it is electronic submission too. But all the statements above seems to contradict "electronic submission of results".

The CIC received date is different from RCMP sent date! we are not tracking this on the spreadsheet.

Hey guys!

How do you get RCMP to email you that they have processed and sent your fingerprints to CIC?

Hello everyone,
So my fingerprints were sent and I have received the criminal record from RCMP, and mailed it to the immigration via Purolator express post with a tracking number so I can track and it’s more safe, and it seems like Purolator lost my package!! I am so stressed out about this. It should have been delivered couple of days ago and there’s still no update, I talked to an agent they opened a trace and will let me know but I don’t have any hope
What would you suggest me to do? This is really stressing me out I am so worried.
Thanks in advance

Went for FP on 20th December, RCMP forwarded the results on 21st, IRCC hasn't received them yet (as per the call).
Canada Post must be holding my docs and double performing my background check. They are always in strike, they should be replaced by DHL and fed ex instead.
RCMP wrote back to my inquiry as follows:
In response to your request for a status update on a Civil Criminal Record verification for: Canadian Citizenship


Please be advised that the verification in question was completed on: 2018-12-21


The result has been returned to the following address as per your application:


IRCC VANCOUVER
200-877 EXPO BLVD.
VANCOUVER BC V6B 8P8


Please take note: Once the demand is completed, the RCMP is not authorized to keep civil (non-criminal) fingerprints or copies of the certified results on file. If you have not received or you require another certified document you would need to re-apply.


NOTE: The results are sent by regular mail to the address provided and extra time should be allowed for delivery by Canada Post.


CFSS processes more than 30,000 criminal record searches each month. The processing times for applications will vary depending on whether or not an individual’s fingerprints can be associated to a criminal holding maintained by the RCMP. For those that are associated to a criminal holding a manual review must take place, the process can take in excess of one hundred and twenty (120) business days from the date that the application was received. For those that are not associated the processing time is significantly less. For further information on processing times please visit our website.

You need to go to places which do electronic submission to rcmp not on paper forms

The guy who took fingerprints sent electronically to the RCMP And that's the only one place where one can go for the FP service
