Hello,
We applied for citizenship as family of 3. Me , my husband and my 6 years old son on September. Only my husband received fingerprint request on January 1st. But for me and my son we didn't received anything. Should we wait for ours?

No that means urs is not required. FP is only issues to people whose name matches with someone else in database and they want to ensure this is a different person. U and ur son did not required FP thats y u only got for ur husband

Hi friends,
I applied my citizenship on FEb 2019 and got acknowledgment on April 3rd. On 23rd April there is message posted on my online account saying a correspondence has been sent and revert with the details ASAP . This request was related to FP .Neither I received any email nor post till date. When contacted the CIC one representative says an email was sent and other says the request letter was sent through ordinary CP.
Could any one of you please let me know
->weather FP request is sent via email or canada post.
-> what if the time line has passed and no intimation was received.
->Is there a chance I can get the FP done without the letter and send it to CIC

My FP request was sent by email
And you can’t get your FP done without the letter from IRCC- the collection agency just won’t do it without the letter

Thanks for your reply my friend. How much time it took for you to receive the email once the status was updated online?

In my case, I received the email first and the next day the request for fingerprint got updated on ecas. If your ecas is updated with fingerprint request and you had opted to receive email then check your inbox including junk folder. However I have read on this forum about someone who opted for email communication yet received fingerprint request by snail mail. For IRCC anything goes.
