I am not surprised that the call centre mislead you. They are not waiting for reports from RCMP or CBSA.

CBSA and CIC are under the same ministry, and share systems (GCMS; noted above; is used by both). For them to get a "report" from CBSA, is instantaneous. It took longer to type that out, then it would for them to get the result.

RCMP is also under the same ministry (Public Safety). They literally (you will see this, if you order your GCMS notes) send an email request to a desk in Ottawa that, within 5 days typically, will respond with the report.

It is more likely, that they are waiting for CSIS or Interpol to finish tracing your background. They use CSIS, and many international partners to verify your backstory.
Ya im not surprised either, It is amazing what they can tell you on the phone. I just did the notes but they said 30 days for it. Is that the same one you are referring to?

So they are working on your file then. DM is almost always positive result on the sponsor side. It's pretty hard to not be able to sponsor. As to the final decision on the PA -- no one can say unfortunately. But looking at your file means they are actively trying to clear your file from the system ... it could be any day!
Thank you Profiler
Also how long RCMP takes to process the fingerprint results.
Does RCMP will directly submit the results to CIC or is it the applicant responsibility to upload it.

Usually not long... week or two? It's not common for them to ask for prints, so I cannot say for absolute certain.

I do know that, as I suggested above, CIC and RCMP easily communicate with each other on a very routine basis. They will send the report directly to CIC.

WRT prints? No. WRT Security, Criminality, and Background? RCMP, CSIS, Interpol, FBI, etc all are common partners to locate information. They can also send agents or operatives from CSIS into the person's home town to locate information about their history. They could use NSA/CSE/ and other five-eyes friends to get access to as much information as possible.

The reality is: typically they stop at CSIS/Interpol. If they need to, they will engage whatever means is required to mine the truth.

WRT the question asked: my guess is, prints are usually only requested when there is a person with a similar/same name/alias that they are trying to disprove that the PA is. It's very uncommon for them to ask for them....

Sounds like you sent the eMedical form in through Case Specific Enquiry, and they also received it through eMedical already. That is a canned response that is sent to everyone who submits something... they just change the "medical results" to whatever was sent. Don't worry.

In terms of timing, you are probably either in the GTA, Vancouver, or Montreal areas of the country.. Is that a reasonable guess?

Uhm... Usually it's not transferred until it's ready to be finalized (landing interview). There is nothing that says it was transferred to another office.

I sent in extra proofs via CSE. I waited almost a month for them to respond to it. Same message as you typed out. It wasn't transferred at all to anywhere...

Remember: CPC-M is a processing centre. The CSE's do not end up here. They end up handled (typically) at the call centre in Montreal.

With that in mind, all your message was saying is, they sent the info to CPC-M.
