How long does it take for fingerprints to get to immigration?

I had them taken two weeks ago. The guy doing the fingerprints told me that they usually get them pretty quickly but I checked the tracker today and they haven’t updated as having received them.

Whats the normal turnaround time? Is there any way to check on what’s happening?

Instantly if within Canada, outside Canada, might take sometime.
Are you talking about biometrics?

My wife took it in Canada, from taking it to updating the online tracker it took her approximately one month.

In normal time:-
no match: 3 days + delivery time
match : 90 days
unfortunately, because of the pandemic, there is a big backlog in RCMP specially for PR finger print request. i gave my finger print yesterday and i was told by the RCMP agent that it takes about 5 weeks now to see update.
