The criminality check needs to be renewed after a certain amount of time, which is why you got the new request for fingerprints.
Don't think too much of it. The bottleneck in your application is the security check which is completely separate from your criminality check, and unless the security check completes before IRCC marks the criminality as complete again, it will have no effect on your timeline at all.

Thanks for the reassurance, and for sharing what could be possible next steps.

Fingers crossed! And will keep you posted on updates

Understood, and helps to know that security and criminality are independent of each other.

Very informative response. Thank you so much! I will proceed to submit second set of fingerprints, and keep sharing relevant updates on this forum.

feels majority of applications non-routine... if u ask about status u get non-routine status???
They consider any application that goes over the normal processing time, non-routin. It doesn't really mean anything, it's just a term they use for applications that are not finalized within their average timeline.

Same status for me. Last month's GCMS notes show that
Office: Mississauga Location: E-Grant Clearance Pending
is changed to
Office: Vancouver Citizenship Location: Grant Clearance Pending

Also received a ghost update on March 6, 2025.
