Hey Majesty-
I know you mentioned to me earlier that it might be wise to get the RCMP fingerprints ready just in case to avoid delays. I'm wondering, if you could do it again; when would you have submitted the fingerprints (I know you got delayed because the request never came).
We are September 1 applicants and wondering if I should get my partner (PA) in Argentina to start getting his now? He was here on a visitor's visa for a year and a bit.
I'm not sure of cost or how long RCMP prints take to get/deliver so it would be helpful to have a better idea of this.
Thank you!!
I was expecting the request with the schedule A requests ... much like this OP (BayernBua) here was requested. However it did not come. At that point in time, I wasn't as paranoid as I am now, not having gone through most of the stages in this process. I thought we should wait and also got some conflicting information about whether everyone who stayed/lived in Canada for 6 months and above consecutively would get the request for the RCMP report. I now believe that most people if not all are expected to submit the fingerprint report if they fit this criteria. So I would say go get the report done (I was still paranoid enough to have gotten it despite what others on this forum said about maybe not getting the request). If you fit this criteria and still haven't gotten the request (this is after you get AOR2), I would say contact the VO to see if they want the report. I know some people waited and got the request a month or 2 later. However, I think if I would have done it over again, I would have emailed the VO and maybe gotten the request sooner maybe. I don't think it is unreasonable to email them first even if they were going to send it eventually on their own time. Maybe you have a more efficient officer processing your app. I still am of the opinion that it's better to be proactive now rather than later. We all want to get our apps processed as soon as possible and giving them a little push within reason might make a difference in getting your app done a little faster.
