RCMP fingerprints timelines

Fingerprint request - is it RCMP Criminal Record based on fingerprints?
Can we get the upfront fingerprints before CIC requests us? So we will have it in hand and ready to submit it in case CIC needs it!

I believe these are for RCMP Criminal record checks, but will be done at specific notaries.

There is no point in getting the fingerprint requests early. These are random requests, not everyone receives the request. When you go for the fingerprints, they do require the letter that is sent from CIC. You need your Citizenship application number, which is only in the letter for the FP request. Some folks were required to send the FP results to Vancouver and some to Sydney, NS, which again is mentioned in the letter.

I am from Nova Scotia and I received my fingerprints results by mail. I checked with the local police station and they said this is normal in Nova Scotia for RCMP to send the fingerprints by mail. Anyone else have received the fingerprints results like mine?

I am assuming now I have to mail it to case processing centre. I am not opening the envelope and sending it as it is.

 

[livingincanada2016]

I got the results in the envelop, I need to mail them to IRCC case processing center. I didn't get a copy so I have only one envelope. Can I open the envelope or shall I send the sealed envelope.
Is anyone has come across this situation please reply.
Thank you.

For those who want RCMP to send the FP result to their mail address. I guess you save a couple of weeks with that. Her is my story.
I got FP request in early 2020, and BG was become completed after a few months at that time. It took time because ot COVID. On Nov 3, 2021, my BG changed from "Completedk to "In progress", I knew that they ask for a new FP since the old one was expired. I went to a FP agency. I took the FP using the old FP request paper because there is no date on the FP request and worked for the 2nd FP. I asked the agency to send the FP result to my address. I received the result from RCMP after a week. I opened the envelop and send the original letter result only to IRCC Vancouver with FedEx. I didn't send the RCMP envelop. They received it on Nov 14, 2021. Then, I guess due to an error on the tracker again it showed me they have received the FP on Dec 1, 2021 . BG become completed on Dec 2, 2021.

Therefore, even if it is the first time you are asked for FP, it is totally fine to ask the agency to send the FP to your address once you received the FP request. When you received the FP result by mail from RCMP, forward it to IRCC. You can track it when they have receive it. Here is my full timeline for those are in FP period.

Calgary application. Gave the fingerprints 10th December, ircc updated the results on 20th. IRCC Vancouver.

Folks, IRCC wrote me regarding my fingerprints: "[following up on your RCMP criminal check, we sent you a letter] requesting new fingerprints because the previous one was missing the photo/ photo was invalid".

What does this sound to you?

In their fingerprints request, there was no mention of photos, and the international agency I used (Gambit) itself had it said somewhere that the RCMP does not require photos either (and it has to be true because the RCMP produced the criminal check).

I wonder when does the FP request comes in during the background check or even after the BG is completed?

 

[Jakev]

As an update, I got my FP request on 17 November and submitted it on 18 November through an agency. Background check moved to COMPLETE today. This means it took a month and a few days for the whole process.

Try submitting a web form to enquire about it. It will give them a nudge.
