Hi,

I have not received my finger prints request yet after my citizenship exam. How long does it take after exam to get it?
Can I enquire somewhere about it?
I think everyone is not asked for fingerprints, I was asked after after 25 days of passing the test, and I finished it and still my case is jo

It's been almost 2 months since my wife and I took our test (and passed) and we're still In Process. We did her finger prints on February 24th and every time we called CIC they said they have everything they need and they are still running their security checks. Is this taking longer than normal or are we still within the norm for people who have had finger prints requested?
Hi , so have you go any update about your case after the fingerprints? I did my fingerprints on June 9 and still I am waiting ,please let me know if yours is still pending too,

I have a question about how they ask ( on what information basis) RCMP fingerprint request. Do they usually ask this from people who migrated on PR? Because I think people like me ( who presented RCMP finger print when we became PR inside Canada) might not need this? Pls share your ideas?

We have been waiting for 6 months since finger print request. We took the test and passed on February 20th. FP requested same day. Have been In Process ever since and every time I call and ask they say it's within the 12-month processing time. Nothing to do but wait.

Oh my God, 6 months?????????????
Why????? The officer told me on the same exam date that I am going to receive the oath letter soon, I double check with him when, he answered less than 3 months, but when the 3 month passed with nothing, i am little suspicious.
Why all that time, and what kind of check that needs more than 6 month to be done?

Has CIC received your fingerprint results? Maybe check with RCMP? Could that be the hold up?

Actually the clear FP been received by CIC since June, and they verify it since that date, I am stucked now in the security check since that date (the step following the FP), everything is clear, I do not understand the delay, is it because of a long queue, or because the security check means international check which take a long time?

Hopefully it isn't a much longer wait for you. I really wonder if the amount of asylum seekers crossing the border from the US is taking resources away from other immigration streams... there seems to be delays across the board right now, which doesn't quite add up with the Liberals plan to speed things up for everyone...

They said the exact same thing to us at the interview. 6 - 8 weeks till we get oath letter. When I explained to the call centre that that's the information given to us at the interview, they said that the person interviewing can't decide when the letter will come for oath until everything is done. All our security has cleared, they are just on the last step for prohibitions. It's insane how long it's taking.

Thanks a lot for sharing this valuable info, currently I am stuck in the security check ( the one after criminality and before prohibition).

Can you kindly share the exact time of your security check waiting period? And if possible when the the fingerprint been requested and how long you have been waiting?


Many thanks to you
