I did notice that whoever had 'citizenship' test prior to BC complete will likely have some delay. Again, there is no specific pattern since every application is different and every processing office have different approach to handle. We all need to wait for our turns to show up..
Analysis paralysis ;)

Our Analysis and IRCC paralysis
Lol, right..

There's a reason we all come here multiple times per day/week. When there's nothing else to do than twiddle our thumbs we will analyze. But I appreciate those who are being stoic about the whole process, must be nice not being like the rest of us.

Hi All,

I have a question on fingerprint requests.

While going through tracker sheet, I found that few people are getting fingerprint requests and few are not.

If fingerprint provided in past during visa and PR process and they are still valid (within 10 years), are there still chance that IRCC may request fingerprints again?

Thanks!

Hi @Visualize ,

If fingerprint provided in past during visa and PR process and they are still valid (within 10 years), are there still chance that IRCC may request fingerprints again?

In your case, were previously provided (during PR or visa application) fingerprint valid ?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.

Any specific scenarios, in which IRCC , may request fingerprints again even though previously provided fingerprints are valid? Would like to know since while going through tracker sheet, I found that few people are getting fingerprint requests and few are not.


Thanks!
