The simple answer to your question is NO.
If they ask u for any fingerprints, it need to be dated after the letter issue date and also the reason for fingerprint may be different for every individual. So when u get the letter it will specify you, under what section do they require a fingerprint from you.
Lets hope u don`t get fingerprint request, as it will make your application into a non routine application, for which the time period is 36 months i.e 3yrs since you receive your A.O.R .

Routine Application time frame 12 months.
Non Routine Application time frame 36 months.( Any documents requested by Citizenship i.e Fingerprint,Questionnaire etc makes your application non routine).
