    Well, it's been a full 6 months now for all of us... I still check my tracker daily (on the weekdays, anyway), but I haven't had an update since March 22nd. Twiddling my thumbs over here just hoping this will be done before February so I don't have to renew my PR card. :)

    Appreciate the explanation. Could we do something like replace "location" with "Processing office (if known)" or similar in the interim?

    Niagara represent! I do agree. Seems like the office processing your application plays a major role in how quickly your application is completed. In the meantime, I found that someone has compiled a spreadsheet for the Niagara office, as well-- no doubt there are others out there. Granted...

    Oh gosh I sure hope so! My application hasn't been updated since March 22nd. I'd love to have a Canadian passport in-hand by the time I travel in August.

    It is my understanding that the RCMP is responsible for processing your fingerprints. The agency is simply collecting your fingerprints on behalf of RCMP. RCMP then forwards the results of your check to IRCC at the address indicated in your letter (which you would have provided to the agency)...

    As long as you followed the directions provided by the letter you received, you should be fine. My letter had very explicit instructions to send my fingerprint results to a specific address:

    I agree, I think this would be a very helpful tool to gather data on the individual processing centers.

    MEP, IP1, IP2, etc: Application stages and what they mean

    No. This is just a submission receipt. The email states: "We'll send you a confirmation email (an acknowledgment of receipt or AOR) once an agent has confirmed your application is complete."

    I'm in Woodstock (between London and KW) but apparently assigned to the Niagara office. Took my test in March.

    The test invitation comes from an office-specific email address, so most people use this email address as an indication of which office their application has been sent to.

    That's right, you can take it at any time during the test window that they provide. Doesn't matter what time of day as long as it's within the window.

    You can post here and someone who has access to the tracker will update it, or you can request access to the sheet to edit it yourself.

    You should get your email soon! My instructions said to use either local police, RCMP, or one of the services approved by RCMP for fingerprinting. I chose one of the approved services, because I work during all working hours for the local police and RCMP, whereas I was able to do my...

    So anyway... I'm looking forward to not having to worry about renewing my PR card once I have citizenship! What about you guys? One of my friends is looking forward to being able to get a Canadian passport and traveling to more countries visa-free.

    Online Application Status.

    It usually takes at least 48 hours from the time you receive AOR for your case to be available in the tracker. Also, make sure you are entering your UCI without any dashes (-).

    Interesting, my fingerprints request was never shown in my tracker. I only received the email request about it. Now my background verification has completed, but it still never said anything about my fingerprints being received.
