Hmmm no one is getting any invite for the exam yet?

Doesn't look like many March applicants have had a test invite yet either so probably going to be quite a while for us. From this point I think it will vary a lot between us though as we're all subject to individual office timeline and delays etc in our respective locations.

I'm not worrying too much about timelines for each stage from here. If you look at people who applied about a year ago, some got the test really quick and then waited several months for DM and oath, whereas others waited several months between IP and test and then got DM within days. I really don't think it matters when the test comes, so long as they're sticking to their 12 month "guideline". But of course, we'd all like it sooner than that.

Yeah, I'm the same. I'm guessing it will be January/February next year before the process is finished. I'm not going to check ECAS every day from now on. Maybe once per week. I'll just drive myself mad!

You're right bucajack! I've been checking everyday since the 1st day of August, but my application is still IN PROCESS for more than 2 months now.

Hi Guys,

I have fingerprints request last week. I lives in Surrey BC. Please advise me where to give the fingerprints. RCMP or any private agency like Commissionaries fingerprinting??
Which one is fast?
Because I have both options here in Surrey
Please help

I have tried every permutation with every id number for both my wife and I and still cannot get signed in.

Maybe it's because we are in the UK trying to login ?

Are you putting England or British Subject for your country? I had same issue...didn't realize until I called that they were different!

One urgent question: I am sending my family for a prolonged vacation. I was wondering if I could have my spouse do the fingerprints now and save them until I receive the request? Or, do we absolutely have to wait for the request before doing the fingerprints?

Cheers...

RCMP directly would be the fastest I'd say. A 3rd party just sends them to RCMP anyway. Maybe call your local RCMP and see what their process is.
