IRCC had a page specifically note what would make a file "non-routine" and asking for fingerprints is one of them. I think they have secretly removed that page due to too many people questioning their processes when pointing at that page. For example, my file never triggered any points on that...

To be honest, if you applied for your family's citizenship in the last 6-8 months, I wouldn't worry about it. There are people who have waited for a WAY longer (including myself, who is already in this hell for 2 years). In addition they asked for fingerprints, so by definition that's...

Congrats! At least someone was actively working on your file.

When you got fingerprints request, that means you are non-routine. While it may sound bad, at least someone is actively doing something with your file.

The amount may have something to do with I am in Vancouver and everything seems to have a premium pricing on. but even if it's say $8k to start, I am still not doing it. if it's say less than $5k may be I would.

Thanks for everyone's input. The MP office at my area is getting wrapped up for the impending federal election. Last time they talked to IRCC on my behalf, they were on the phone with IRCC for over 40 minutes, but at the end IRCC said they couldn't do anything and asked the MP office to suggest...

I talked to a lawyer yesterday and I appreciate her being very honest with me. Basically there is very little the lawyer can do other than going writ of mandamus. However, I will be looking at $12,000 to $20,000 Canadian for the process. Between the already difficult economic challenges and I...

Huh? I work for a CANADIAN provincial government.... And about the information sharing, it has nothing to do with the citizenship, it's more about the employment, no?

Not refugee nor from middle east. I am actually working for the provincial government, which just adds insult to injury. Nothing makes any sense....

Congrats! I bet the MP's office woke up someone at IRCC from their hibernation. Did the MP office tell you they couldn't do anything more because that's their extend of power or it's time for they to clean up their office to get ready for election?

Jan 2023 AOR here, doesn't seem like there's any updates at all.

Unfortunately I think it's going to be a pretty nasty one, looks like I need to go get a lawyer :(

You can find out by requesting for the GCMS notes

There may a chance you either don't hear anything back or the MP's office may tell you they have to close your file with them due to the impending election. All the information that you have provided and they acquired from IRCC is confidential and most likely need to be destroyed when they close...

There is no rhyme or reason to why any file had gone to which office. I applied in Vancouver, but my file in the past 24 months went from Sydney to Domestic RO (I still don't know where exactly is this) to Vancouver and now to Calgary. I am in the believe that this has to be the most mismanaged...
