Congratulations, spreadsheet updated. Can you confirm the test office from the test email received. Please check the email address in the contact us section on the test invite PDF.
TLDR :
Since you have your BG check completed, you will most likely not be asked for fingerprints so you are good!
Long story:
As part of the background check, there is a criminality check done by IRCC via RCMP database. When they find a partial match in the database w.r.t name, DOB etc and cannot confirm the identity, it is flagged. They request for fingerprints to make sure you are not the person flagged and are clear of any criminality. It is like the PCC for Canada and only required when they are unable to verify and clear online and about 20% people get the request. We can do that only when requested and not upfront.
