Is this possible?

How did you manage to do your FP from outside Canada?

There are some fingerprint agencies that provide international services, like Commissionaires.ca, Gambit ID, Fingerscan.ca.
Send them an email requesting info and they will send you the forms and required documents checklist.
Get your Fingerprints done from a nearest police station (ink or digital), on the form provided or a form with similar layout.
Copies of 2 IDs (1 must have a photo).
One recent passport size photo.
Fingerprint request letter.
Pay Fees (ranges from $150 - $300)

Mail out the forms and documents to the fingerprint agency in Canada and they will digitize and transmit it electronically.

Took me exactly a week to have them submitted to RCMP.
Hope this helps. Goodluck!

Received fingerprint request today, March 24, 2021.
 
Just got the online test invitation. (See my sig to get the timeline).

Any tips about how to prepare for the xms? I will have to go through the book, but any other tips that will help me to pass the xm?

Try the Citizenship Test app in Apple store or Play store, if you have some time between now and your test date.

I wrote to the RCMP email address and their response is summarised below -
  1. They confirmed receiving my fingerprints from the company on the 16th of March 2021 i.e. the same day I'd done
  2. They said they're backlogged right now and the checks will take some time
  3. They aren't giving a firm timeline or ETA for that activity
  4. They confirmed that as soon as the check is done, reports will be forwarded to IRCC directly
  5. Somewhere on the reply was a vague reference of up to 120 days for the report; and an additional 5-10 days by Canada Post.
That’s totally disappointing reply from RCMP. Roughly 120 days for the report!!!! That’s a very looooooong time!! Don’t know why why why ???
I found on a Facebook forum someone October 2020 applicant posted that he got test invite yesterday, March 24,2021 !! Not sure what is the procedure for them to finalize the applications!!

Yes, I plan on writing to them again in 3 weeks or so to check on the status.
Once these guys are done, I'll have to follow up with IRCC as well on the invites.

Can you please share how you contacted RCMP ? and how long it takes them to respond back to you if you sent an email ?
