I have a question please! Is everyone get the request for fingerprints?

I didn’t get any request for fingerprints for citizenship, my background check still says in progress!
I was requested fingerprints when I did my permanent residency! Would they request it again or not necessarily?
Now I’m worried about my background check being still in progress because they might be waiting for the fingerprints which I never received an email for it!

So far my timeline is:
Applied May 18th 2021
AOR September 1st 2021
Test done Feb 1st
Tracker updated for test completed Feb 2nd
Everything else is still in progress!
Please I need to hear from people who didn't have their fingerprints requested during citizenship! Thank you

Ps: I also ordered the notes 2 days ago.

I have almost the same time line and same waiting queue. Just want to check do they ask for fingerprints for everyone or only for certain cases??

May I ask which office asked you for the fingerprint? I am waiting for the Montreal office to process my fingerprint. Montreal office requested my fingerprint on Dec. 30th, 2021 and Canada Post showed they received the mail on Feb. 11th, 2022. However, online tracker did not show they received the fingerprint since then.

How long does the fingerprints take to get reviewed, mine are waiting from December to be reviewed, no update yet and everything is in progress. Most people are getting the checks completed immediately after the fingerprints submission, can anyone shed some light on what to expect? Thanks

I'm from Toronto but the IRCC Vancouver asked my FP. I also have no idea about this.
By the way, the notary sends my fingerprint form directly to them, and he only emailed me the receipt. The online tracker has just been updated recently as they received it and marked completed after 1 day.

The notary told me that it would take 3-4 weeks because it doesn't matter you did it physically or digitally, our FP will be mailed to IRCC office in Van.

Hi everyone, I took my test on Feb 28th and my status was updated yesterday and everything is now marked as “completed” except “citizenship ceremony” anyone had a date for their ceremony and give an insight into how long from when everything is completed to getting a date for oath? Thanks

Hey man. That seems very slow. I'm sorry to hear that. This has been an excruciatingly painful process for the majority of us.
