As far as I know, fingerprint request is not mandatory and not all the applicants receive it. Necessity of the request appears when IRCC finds that applicant's name has resemblance to someone holding a record in their database

Here is what was wrote on my fingerprint request document:

"Where there is an indication that a criminal record may be involved, it is essential to ensure that there is no error in the identity of the applicant concerned, therefore we request fingerprints to verify the applicant’s identity"

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply.
My question was not why or when the fingerprints are requested
My question is when they are requested and provided and the RCMP sends the results to CIC, does CIC add any information in the ecas portal indicate that they received the results or should I call them to confirm that they received the results?

Congratulations! So you have to travel from Kingston to Ottawa to take the test? That’s not fair! It’s like a 2 hour drive.:(
