Does the CIC wants finger prints directly from the RCMP or I can send them in?

HELP
I went for an interview and I was asked to do finger prints with the RCMP for Family Class Sponsorship, am doing them digitally to fasten it, but I asked the RCMP to send them to me. Does the CIC cares who sends them in or they want the RCMP to send it direct to them the CIC OFFICER. Please someone help before I make a mistake because I just dont want to repeat them they were costly. Thanks Members.

If they asked you to send it to them by a certain date, then all they care is they get it by that date. So it's good you get it so u can make a photo copy, mail it, track it so u know its gone

Thanks petersiddle28 for your kindness to reply me because I was supper worried about it.
Let me ask you another question, I got certificate of departure and since the process is taking for ever, Can I ask for the visa and there will be no problems or I need to do an ARC first before I go for the visa. I left but didn't report to the office for the certificate of departure right away I did it later. Now an based in USA but husband is in Canada. Like I said we did the interview, asked to send in my certificate of departure because I didnt have it at the time of the interview, I thoight it was unneccessary since they indicated in the letter that if you have departed for more than a year you dont need the ARC.The lady said that I needed to do the finger prints and my medicals had expired I have to re-do them but she said I can go a head and apply for the visa. Do you think this makes sense? Thanks so much just help me understand my fate because my husband wants me to apply for the Visa.
