Hi everyone? why do cic ask.for fingerprint ? When I summit a police clearance. I got a letter stating.
This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class.
It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent resident status as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. However, a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not applying to join you in Canada at this time. You cannot become a permanent resident
until you and all your family members have met these requirements. In order to continue processing your application in Canada further information is required. You must complete/submit the following information to the Case Processing Centre: [X] As part of this application process, you are required to provide a set of your fingerprints.

Please take this letter to a service provider and arrange to have your fingerprints taken as soon as possible. The information requested above must be received at this office by 30 April 2014.
