I submitted our application June 2012.
Everything was fine, CIC just request my wife's RCMP criminal check.
We immediately sent her paper fingerprints and RCMP received it on 26 April. According to RCMP, it may take 18 weeks. Then, I emailed CIC and let them know this information. CIC replied and said our circumstances are well noted.
After that email, we were just waiting. Then, we received another email from CIC saying: we didn't hear anything from you since we requested your wife's RCMP criminal check, you have 30 days to submit it and this is your final reminder.
I am shocked. I emailed them again and explained this issue. I also email RCMP to ask how much longer it will take them to finish our case (it has been 16 weeks so far).
So, your advice is highly appreciated now.
1, we can redo this RCMP fingerprint check through a canadian agency which will only take 2 weeks to get the result. So, it will be done within the 30 days limit.
2, because it has been 16 weeks, it should be done very soon. So, I would like to confirm whether it can be done within this time limit. I have emailed RCMP. Do you guys know any number of RCMP I can call?
3, any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
