Fingerprint request for Citizenship

[Jasmeen2]

Hello,

I applied my Canadian citizenship in October 2024. I gave my citizenship test in January 2025. I received the fingerprint request from IRCC and I am currently in New Zealand for few months. Is it possible to get my fingerprints from New Zealand or I have to travel back to Canada?

Thanks,
Jasmeen Kaur

My bad, I stand corrected.
Well, it sucks, but it's part of the logistics of applying for citizenship and leaving for a long period right after I guess :/
