March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants
- Thread starter navid2014
- Start date
It is in dead a just another delay, however if RCMP or IRCC don't get it when they are expecting it the most from Fingerprinting services, this could be misleading to Immigration team. See the response from them.
IRCC asked me for FINAL REQUEST FOR FINGERPRINTS FOR. Our records indicate that we previously sent you a request to provide fingerprints but we have not received confirmation that you have had your fingerprints taken. We do not have records of you contacting
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to provide an explanation for not submitting your fingerprints. If this is incorrect, or if you have had your fingerprints taken, please contact IRCC within ninety (90) days of the date of this letter. Please contact IRCC in writing at the address on this notice.
As we have stated in our previous notice, after reviewing the biographical information on your application form, there are questions in your case with regards to sections 21 and/or 22 of the Citizenship Act, explained further on the second page of this letter. To proceed with your application, you must have your fingerprints taken within ninety (90) days of the date of this letter.
MY RESPONSE
I have completed my finger print scan at Global Fingerprinting Services Canada ltd. on March 13th 2021. They have confirmed that the report has already been sent to RCMP or IRCC same day. Please find the attached copy that Fingerprinting service has sent to me. Please do let me know if you require me to do Fingerprint & send a report again.
IRCC RESPONSE
Your fingerprints have been received yesterday and set to passed. Your next steps should be test/interview. Please monitor your email for further instructions.
Please note that we have a backlog of fingerprint results due to COVID staff shortage restrictions and therefor processing times have been delayed.
Regards,
IRCC
You don't need to be in Canada while you wait for FP, However, you do get 90 days to finish your Fingerprints. Come back when you can; within Max of 65 days from the date of your Fingerprint request, so that you keep that 20-15 days buffer excluding Self-quarantine and delay in sending report to RCMP/IRCC after you get your fingerprint done.
However You could enquire in your own country if they are professional Finger Print services accepted by Canadian Immigration, But you have to collect yourself and send it to the Immigration team by yourself. However, for this you must justify your reason why are you not able to present in Canada; and must inform them when left Canada.
Good Luck!
Don't worry, they are slowly working. We have time until March 2022, that is 2 years, for having our cases finalized, so all the steps after IP will happen during this time. You cannot request it, you have to wait.
Hi everyone. I submitted my application on 21 Sep 2020 and I just received my AOR today (19 Apr 2021), stating that IRCC has started processing my application on 12 Feb 2021. I don't have access to edit the spreadsheet yet, so adding in my application progress status here in a comment.
Have you tried the September 2020 thread? This is March 2020 thread for apps sent in March.
Ah I didn't know there was one. I came here via a google search. Thanks, I'll look for the September thread and post there. Cheers!

@AmericanCanadian007 I think you will get to hear good news, citizenship exam soon, both of us, all of us very soon. You always bring good vibes to this room.
Hey guys, I received my FP request on 23rd March and submitted through an agency on 26th. To confirm my FP are received by IRCC, where can I email them? I am in Vancouver region. I tried calling but IRCC but due to high volume they are not picking up. Thanks.
Just send in a web form to IRCC, https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx
Reached out to them again today (3 weeks after RCMP said the fingerprint reports were sent to IRCC).
IRCC still says they haven't received it.
However, now they added a line saying they're backlogged for the last few weeks - asked me to follow up again after a few more weeks
I'm wondering if a GCMS notes request at this point makes sense? Or, if I should wait for sometime till the FP is updated before I raise a GCMS notes request?
Also, what is the URL for raising the request? And, the cost involved?
