If your criminality has been in progress for a long time (more than 2-3 months), then you’d most likely get a FP request at some point. Though the timing is unclear..

Which new tracking system? Can you post a link please?
Are there more than one way to track citizenship application?
I applied in May 2020. Submitted fingerprints in March last week.

Do you know if we can send our finger prints without getting any request to speedup the process? Man I am fed up same shit with my PR application no FP request but took 17 months to process don't want to get stuck with citizenship while everyones moving forward.

How long did it take for you to receive your GCMS notes? I just applied 2 days back.
I have seen a pattern if you been in Canada for a long time citizenship process takes time. Thats my observation most of my friends who are moved to Canada around 2010 took forever to process compared to those came long after them. I may be wrong but that's just my observation.

I dnt think so
When I received my FP request there was a letter attached and person who does fingerprints asked for that letter too.

How do you know your security completed?? If you are saying this based on call center i suggest get gcms notes. Usually criminality is quick and the reason is your background is in progress is comprehensive security screening. Since criminality is based in RCMP record check this one is a quick one either they ask for FP and tou will pass quickly or even they don need FP. In my case criminality passed without any FP but security is in progress! The only reason for criminality to be in progress is someone has a match in his/her record then it will take a long time for RCMP or IRCC to pass the criminality. So, if you don’t have any record with police, I suggest ask your mp to get a detailed update on the status of your application to see which one is pending security or criminality. I haven’t heard delays due to criminality but most delays are due security unless someone has a police record.

Same! Usually criminality is a quick one unless there is match on your police/RCMP record. Many people do not need FP to pass this. You are in the same bot as mine security screening

Yes that's why I was so confused usually security is the one tAking long time. I called IRCC call center that's when they told me that criminality is In process and security is completedI have ordered GCMS notes but it's taking 30 days or more. I don't have any police record but I was a witness for an incident but never went to court, cops took my statement and that's it end of story.
I have made multiple 911 calls regarding drunk fights/homeless people/medical attention at my workplace where I needed to give my name and birthdate but I wasn't involved in any of them directly. When I submitted my PR application everything went as per timeline no crazy delay in particular check.
There was this recent incident in march2021 at my place of residence where another tenant rear-ended my landlord car injuring him where cops were involved.Note we all share same address and same mailbox may I think this might be the reason but I wasn't involved anywhere in all these situations.
Probably I will ask my MP to check my status as why criminality is taking so long.

RE: " which one is pending security or criminality".

He should be able to get that from GCMS notes on his own. I doubt that the MP is going to getting more information beyond that level.
