Heyo
I’ve few questions, would be great if someone clarify this.

I’ve applied my citizenship application in the first week of Sept. Awaiting for the AOR. Seeing the trend I would be getting my AOR shortly. But, I’m travelling out of Canada next month for 3 weeks, can I get the RCMP (fingerprint) done before IRCC request one?

I got to know that the rcmp request is not for everyone. Im worried what if they ask while I’m out of the country. I’m planning to get it beforehand. However, I’m wondering the fingerprint issued date would be before the IRCC’s request date. Will they accept?
 
I wouldn't do it ahead of time. Simply they have a specific address that you need to send it to, and that will be in the letter. The private agency affiliated to the RCMP will require that letter and the address. Your best bet is to update them that you will be out of the country for 3 weeks and provide details around dates, address etc.

That way if they send the request, they can defer it. Once you receive the request you will have 30 days

Hey guys i got requested for Finger Prints on the 24th OCT which was updated in the tracker on the 26th but i still have not received an email for the instructions on how to go about it. What should i do other than wait for the email? Should just book a FP appointment and hope that the email comes soon? Or is this just normal?
