yes, you can do that, because request goes to IRCC Vancouver but specifically office who handle finger print, so we all got this request from specific Vancouver IRCC office and the request email said, to got to rcmp most of us was police station, and asked the result, ( the officer ask as , where result to be sent to ), to be sent back to this Vancouver office, no matter where your application is been processed, this Vancouver IRCC specific office handle it,
so you can contact your local office, explain, that your criminality is pending for long, and you didn't get finger print request,
