Not sure what you mean by urgent? I applied normally, was there such an option as to select for my application to be processed urgently? I've shared my timeline here before, but anyway, here it is again.
Sent application: 2nd of March
Delivered: 9th March
AOR: 1st September
Fingerprints: 8th December
They are giving me 90 days to do it.

I've been PR since 2010 and been procrastinating to apply for citizenship... Not sure why they are asking me to do fingerprints, as I don't have a criminal background, and my name is very unusual.

I mean, you can make urgent citizenship application but has several rules and you need to explain why this is urgent (e.g., job or emergencies).
Thanks for the timeline, mine is on 4th, let's see if I get the FP request.

I think they just do the FP on a random basis.

I think so, the FP request must be randomly...base on what I saw on tracking of 2019, just a few applicants got the request

That is interesting. How did you receive the FP request if you don't mind me asking? Was it email or mail or you saw it on ECAS? Does your ECAS still say In Process?

Did you get the request by regular mail or e-mail?

Hi Admin can you please update my status in Google Sheets? In progress started on November 19th.

It's just weird that I didn't receive any notification. I just found out after I check the application status online.

Hello! Just wondering if you can access your application in the eCAS system now. I still can't access mine. I sent two web forms but no response just yet. I got my AOR on October 20.
Almost a month after and a web form inquiry.... nothing yet. How about you?
