When FP requests come in - That means the background checks have been revised

daktrader,

Could you explain what you meant by backgrounds have been revised! I thought they just update your file with the missing piece.

 

[daktrader]

FPs are not mandatory...
They are a part of the screening process based on many attributes...
Not all applicants get the FP request
it does not appear on ECAS, but will appear on your ATIP report.

Good Luck!

Is fingerprint request mandatory to all applications? Do you see it updated in ECAS? Thanks!

 

[daktrader]

I have mis-phrased that...

Basically its either your background checks are performed for the 1st time or are revised.
Background checks expire after a year and have to be revised....this applies to FPs

Good Luck!

daktrader,

In my case the FP showed-up on my ECAS, and I think only becasue the request originally came from Sydney and the letter did not come to me. After awhile (and after I notified them) they sent me another request from local office (Edmonton). However, my file is still in Sydney.

I see...
I presume the process has changed since my last knowledge of information.

Thanks for all your responses

Btw, I just called CIC and this lady informed me that my file was transferred to Edmonton local office on March 21, 2014. However, I am just wondering, as on April 9, I received a letter from CIC Sydney confirming the name that I would like to appear in my application. How come I got a letter from Sydney and this lady told me that application was sent in Edmonton on March 21? It doesn't make sense to me. Just saying. Nevertheless, I am still thankful because my application is now in process.

Yea it's good news...hope edmonton office would be quick like Scarborough.

Ecas Says: Received March 28, 2014 and sent AOR and Discover Canada handbook.( I have not received till date)
Application in Process from May 8, 2014.

I wonder if we would see any difference in processing times for the increased application fee.

 

[EdmontonM]

Application delivered on March 17, 2014.
Processing started on April 29, 2014.
Fingerprint request on June 20, 20.
Received line disappeared on June 20, 2014.

The only thing I'm worried about is that I lost my passport two years ago. Since this lost passport is not in my possession any more, I attached a letter to the photocopies of bio pages of my passports, explaining that I had lost one of them. Hope it doesn't trigger an RQ.

Here is my fingerprinting experience:
I went to the Police Information Check Section at 14315 118 Ave, and got my fingerprint. The whole process took about 15 minutes and it cost $25. The fingerprint technician told me they would send my info to RCMP in Ottawa, and then the results would be forwarded to CIC Edmonton, and it would take 2-6 weeks.

EdmontonM,

Did your finger print letter came from Sydney, or from Edmonton?

 

[EdmontonM]

EdmontonM,

Yes, it is from Edmonton local office, and the fingerprint technician told me they would send the result back to the same local office.
Is yours from Sydney?

Yes, it did come from Sydney?

Do you know if your file has been transferred to Edmonton?

 

[EdmontonM]

Well, my file should be in Edmonton now, cause the fingerprint request is from the Edmonton office. I called CIC this morning asking about the transfer date, but the agent didn't want to help. Will call them tomorrow again.
