Not Sure about that, I have a very western name and I got an FP request. I think it's just name and D.O.B.matching. nothing more nothing less, still it is a pain for sure

I have not applied yet, but I have noticed the delays due to Finger Print requests.
Can I request a Finger Print from my police station and send it with my application to expedite the process?

Thanks

hi,
When did you receive your FP, before or after the test invt?
How long do you think abouth the whole security check precedure will take?
I am stucked in the security check stage since June and did not hear anything since that day.

Not really, because I think they ask for FP for those who left the country even one ☝ day during their residency.
For example, my wife did not left Canad, and three months ago the decision was made on her file, another friend who did not left too got the whole procedure in 69 days only.
I left Canada for 9 days only and got the fingerprint and stucked in scurity check since June.

It's actually just a matter of time and long row of international Security check.

I got mine just after 'In Process', went to RCMP same day have it done. Sent it back as soon as I received my certificate from RCMP, ECAS shows no change but the call centre agent was really helpful and said it was received by my local office on 4th August (about 2 weeks after the request). So not sure what happens now, just waiting for test invite & interview I suppose.
