If anyone is waiting for IRCC to receive their RCMP police clearance certificate, I just wanted to share my experience.
July 15 - I received the request for RCMP finger print based police clearance.
July 15 - Booked an appointment and provided my finger prints to a third party agency. Finger prints sent to RCMP same day for processing.
July 17 - RCMP sent the finger prints result to the IRCC mailing address provided on the request letter. This was confirmed by RCMP, they responded to my email request.
August 3 - Called IRCC, they did not receive it
August 6 - Sent a webform request to know the status
August 9 - Reply back, they still did not receive it
August 14 - Called IRCC again, they still did not receive it
August 20 - Sent a webform request again
August 25 - Received a response that they have received it. Still no update in GCKey though.
Anyone going through the same thing, I would recommend being patient since it took almost 38 days for them to receive and update the system. Chances are they received it much earlier, system just didn't get updated. It's very easy to panic, I know I did. Hopefully, my timeline will help calm some nerves for people who are waiting for IRCC to receive the police clearance certificate.
