Hi,

I see that you have the following in your status:
Received fingerprint request on April 13
Fingerprints sent electronically on April 18

Were these official status posted on eCas for you or you just added those yourself?
Thanks!
I just added myself to give others an idea

Hi folks,

I got mail from IRCC asking for fingerprints, and I have some question about how to get the fingerprints as there is lack of instructions.

I am wondering if anyone have experience they can share?

- Do I need to make an appointment or just show up?
- Which of the options (RCMP/local police/RCMP-accredited agency) would be preferable?
- Should I get the result myself and mail it to the local office? Or have them directly submit the result from RCMP? If I ask the RCMP/agency to submit directly, is there a way to confirm it was sent/received?
- If somebody decides to receive the results first and transfer to the local office, how long does it take to get the result from the RCMP/agency?

Thank you!

RCMP 14-21days. Depends also which city you are. Some cities they do it fast some are slow. Both ways work

I suggest we add a column to the spreadsheet to write "Processing Office". It will provide useful information for other applicants about processing times of each office. I wanted to do it but couldn't.
