were you another person who got transferred to vancouver office ? i saw someone else also got an interview so at least that would explain it

Could anyone who has done the fingerprint request tell me how many business days it took for RCMP to send it out to IRCC? Mine is still "in process" according to the RCMP phone line, and it's been 4 business days.

I submitted them on a Thursday first thing morning. RCMP sent them on tuesday if I remember correctly (or wednesday max)

This worries me. I haven’t heard of anyone exceeding 4 business days.

You're going to be fine since you know you don't have any crimes or infractions listed against you. Don't stress about it and let things play out.

That was me after two months of complete silence, I got email for an interview. AOR Oct 9. Everything is complete except LPP. Email stated that they have to verify my physical presence.

 

[Jay.a882]

Hi fellas,
I need some clarification regarding the interview request that I received for later this month. The email states that it’s to confirm my physical presence and requested to send colour copies of my current and expired passport ( during the 5 years eligibility) period. Now here is the confusion for me. When I submitted my application, the physical calculator displayed 1807 days and I’ve already submitted my current passport photo copy when I submitted my application. The current passport to me was issued in 2016 and will expire in 2026 and I don’t have any travel stamps on it because I didn’t go outside of Canada for the past 9 years.
the expired passport ( which I didn’t provide the photo copy to IRCC) was valid from 2011 to 2016, so my confusion is, do I still have to provide the photocopy of my expired passport even though, it was expired way before my physical presence eligibility started?
The IRCC system calculated my physical presence from 2019 to 2024.
Any input will be appreciated!!!
