Yes, if they are unable to clear your criminal history check with just the name, dob, and place of birth, you'll need to submit FPs. It's fairly straightforward - just follow instructions to submit them at the RCMP/Local police service/RCMP accredited service.
Is your BG marked as completed?
Correction : Thank you. Yes, my BG shows completed, my wife as i said email received for FP, My daughter (adult) BG completed, and minor shows in progress only.
When was it marked as completed in the Application History section of the tracker? I'll update the spreadsheet...
For minors there will be no update till the very end in the tracker. Once a parent is granted citizenship (LPP marked complete/Decision made in ECAS) the minor is automatically granted
One thing though i found out during the letter that came for fingerprint of my wife is that, our application is being processed at IRCC Vancouver.
Also i have additional question here, Since this is sent as family application, if my wife's bg is pending, the test invite for citizenship for me and my daughter (where bg shows completed) will not come until her bg is completed status, right?

Test invite would come even if BG is in progress. Both are independent.
