Fingerprint request for Citizenship Application (After Bill C6)

ddavidd1 said:
Hey ppl, I received FP request on April 9th-2018
RCMP sent FP to CIC April 12th (RCMP confirmed this via email which I requested)
CIC call centre also confirmed this
It's almost end of May and no changes yet to online status...
(I'm guessing either this is St Clair office or Scarborough office) I live in Toronto

Any idea why this is taking so long

Hi ,

How do you know, RCMP sends to CIC your results.
Did you call the RCMP?

Thanks for the update
 
Hi guys.
Does anyone know if fingerprinting has to be done from within Canada or can it be done from back home country if you’re there during that certain period?
 
Hi All,
Is the fingerprint mandatory for everyone applying for citizenship or is it only for selective people? I got a request to submit my fingerprints but neither my husband nor my son got any? Why am I the special one here?

Thanks
 
Those who have done finger print in how many days the ecas will be updated to show that they received finger print results.

You can do fingerprints outside of Canada. I've done it in Turkey, though it was very difficult as I do not speak Turkish and it is tricky to do so. I spent literally a week getting it done, I hope it would not take you that long in other countries. Basically, you do fingerprint in a police station of another country and then mail it to an accredited company in Canada, they convert it to digital format and submit it to RCMP. And, I asked them to send the result back to the accredited company, and they send it to CIC with a tracking number that I could check online.
