Hello guys

I would like to know about your experience in case of fingerprints request, before test!!!
I want to know, how long it takes CIC to recieve the fingerprint results and how long it takes for the application to move to next step after fingerprints.
Also do they send test invite by regular mail or email

I received my notice on a Thursday, I believe, had them done on the Friday, and according to my notes IRCC had them by the following Friday. It did not appear to affect my timeline at all.

Good for you!!! That is fast processing, but i think it all depends on the regional processing office and the officer to which the application is assigned.

I had my FP taken today April 21, an RCMP accredited company at Windsor. The guy who took my FP said that RCMP would send it directly to IRCC. How would I know that it been sent and received by IRCC - any idea

Call CIC contact centre. They will be able to tell you if they got your finger print.

wow that is extremely fast! My mother is in a situation that she got a fingerprinting invite end of March and she did the fingerprinting the same day she received the letter, and is worried it would mess her timeline.

Do they update on ECAS after fingerprinting gets done or you call IRCC to check if they received it?

No. You must call CIC to verify if they got it.

most likely they’ll reschedule your oath. There are a lot of cases where the applicants got told that their oaths were on hold until all clearances were done. You should call call Center as well as the web form to inform the situation .

I’m sure the officer will tell you at the interview too.
