Really? What country are you from?
I am from India. They might have requested it because I lived in Canada for more than 6 months. Because when they requested a PCC from back home, they did mention it that you also have to send police clearance from the county where you have lived more than 6 months. Assuming they can get all the reports from RCMP by themselves I didn't send them nothing from here, just a PCC from India. And also maybe because I fell out of status.
But What I am worried about is that if it is normal or not?
Even when you call CIC now, they have changed things all around. And also when you hear your file status, now an automated machine says that if fingerprints are needed or not. So I don't know what really the reason for them to ask me about fingerprinting.
