hey friends
I did my fingerprints on 1st of April and today is 17th and IRCC still haven’t received them
Called CIC today and agent said sometimes it takes 5 months to get fingerprints uploaded in the system and as long as i did those i shouldn’t worry
5 months ?
Any thoughts??
Did you ask at all why it takes 5 months? I have never heard of such a long time to upload fingerprints (for citizenship applications) once they have actually been received. In fact, they appear to upload them right as soon as possible, even if they do not look at them immediately. The new tracker shows something like this:

Fingerprint results: Received

We received your fingerprint information on <date> and will review them shortly. Thank you!

I have the same situation. It has been more than 65 days to submit biometrics, but the status is still, ‘We haven’t received your fingerprints’. Underneath at the bottom, there is biometric number and expiry date. But the status, ‘We haven’t received your fingerprints’

Did you take any action to resolve this? I have known person who took their biometric just a month ago, they already got their COPR. But the glitch in my file delaying my application process. I called IRCC, they didn’t process my file yet, and told me to wait for the officer to update the status first. Then they will process my application.
Why are you writing about biometrics and COPR in the subforum on citizenship?
