It's been almost 2 months since my wife and I took our test (and passed) and we're still In Process. We did her finger prints on February 24th and every time we called CIC they said they have everything they need and they are still running their security checks. Is this taking longer than normal or are we still within the norm for people who have had finger prints requested?

Yeah, I understand that I'm within the overall normal timeframe. I was wondering if I am within the normal timeframe after the FP has been sent. Everything was moving quite fast until we received the FP request.sidestep4u said:

After fingerprint request, it can take couple of months to see further updates however it still depends upon application to application because every applicant's personal circumstances are different so thus the application.
Not everybody needs to do that! Cross fingers that you do NOT have to provide them with your fingerprints! Most people do not have to do this!
Hi Stef,
They told me after the exam that I might receive it. That's why I am waiting for it.
O.K. than this is different. But they did not say you WILL receive it? Best of luck that you don't.
Not usually. But they might. Some applicants receive a request for Finger Prints, some prior to the test and interview, some at the interview, some after the interview. Most applicants, however, are NOT asked to submit FPs with a grant citizenship application.
There are numerous reasons why FPs are requested. Most are no big deal. Even if requested, this does not usually delay things much (as long as the applicant timely submits FPs of course). But as usual how things actually go in an individual case depends on the circumstances in that particular case.
