Perfect! I think we all can assume if you upload RCMP fingerprint report, 99% chances are your BG will change to Nott Started (perhaps we did some work for the agent in providing the initial report). I'm relieved that a lot of people have the same status as me.

Always appreciate a +1 for finding the root cause of a problem 8)

Hopefully we all get PPR soon. Good luck folks!

Did you submit RCMP fingerprint report upfront?

hi, bgc was IP and changed to NN ,NO UPDATE AFT DAT ..WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? PLS ANYONE REPLY
I think when ns->nn or ip->nn it means the security check is underway. When it changes from nn to ip, the officer is doing a final review on your case.

Just my opinion.... :)

nn to ip you mentioned here, I assume it's nn to ip(2), correct?

It's not mandatory. I did it just in case they might come back and ask for it later.
Thought it might speed up the process a bit.
But on CIC's website, it says that you do not need to provide a police clearance if you are residing in Canada. Can I provide now and update it via case specific form?
