Has anyone gotten a fingerprint request lately? I just got one citing section 21 and/or 22 of the Citizenship Act as the reason. It's really weird because the government has my prints already because of my job and I wouldn't be eligible for my job if I did fall into either of those sections. Any thoughts etc?

Hi there, I also got a request for fingerprints (my husband did not, although we applied together). I submitted my FP on April 17th but it doesn't seem like CIC received them yet (not reflected on ECAS).
Does anyone know how long it takes to process FP these days?

Thanks

In my case RCMP took about a week to send it to IRCC. IRCC claims it received it after 20 days!!
ECAS will not get updated.
You can email RCMP to check when did send the report? and call IRCC to check the receipt date.

I am just wondering if someone is able to make a summary for which offices are operating faster than others - asking as an Ottawa applicant. thanks!

It’ll be more helpful but I don’t think anyone did, I just want to track Edmonton office similar timelines so I can have general idea on what’s happening

I am waiting for the Test Invite.
a) Would I receive it by mail or email?
b) Would they instantaneously change my status on CIC platform to some kind of "you were invited for the test on ....." phrase? I continuously check their platform for a status update.

The reason I am asking is that I do not want to miss the Test invitation.

Thank you for explaining this to me.
