You can use RCMP offices that provide electronic fingerprinting services in Toronto. Or you can use the RCMP accredited organizations listed at

https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/private-fingerprinting-companies-accredited-by-the-RCMP

I am @ Vancouver
Sorry for asking too many questions but did they give you 30 or 90 days?

someone told me that the 90 days were for 2021 but now it is 30 days! I am starting to get worried since my tracker were updated in 10 Jan and its now 14 Jan and i still didnot recieve anything and i am currently outside Canada so i will need time to get back (book ticket , travel...etc).

Can you help me and tell me the date in your finger prints instruction letter is the date you received it or the date in the tracker. (i am talking about the date mentioned in the letter , usually in the top left of the letter). I would really appreciate it if you could check it for me

If it is the date you received the letter that would buy me sometime at least

Could someone link the tracker for April? I see most other people who did theirs online have completed the entire process while mine is barely moving along...

Is it advisable for me to cancel the online and apply by paper? I feel like it might be faster.

Link to the spreadsheet is in my signature.

I would not recommend withdrawing your application at this time... You will not get a refund for your existing application and have to pay again. Also, your processing time resets when your paper application gets delivered. Currently paper applications are taking longer to receive AOR ~60 days vs ~20 days for online applications.

You are still within the 12 month service standard and as lots of people are seeing movement now, hopefully you'll be done by April this year

I don't think is a good idea to withdraw your application. Apply by paper means you need to restart your timeline again.

just for your username - chappantikli - IRCC should've given you citizenship on the same day as AoR. You deserve it!

proof of return? I am guessing this is because you wrote the test outside Canada or informed them that you were outside Canada.
