Thanks. Good to know. Surprising though. I'm assuming the letter (pdf attachment) is also dated today ?
I called the Call center today to check my status. And surprisingly they picked up within 5min.. not sure if processing is open too.

Hello, I had my citizenship test on 14th, and got my Decision Made status on 15th on ECAS. Would one of you be able to update the spreadsheet please?

Good luck to all!

Hello everyone,

I sent my 4/6 application in late October 2017. I'm living in Kingston, but my mailing address is in Thornhill (GTA). I was wondering if you knew which office is in charge of processing my case. If I'm not mistaken, I think since my living address is in Kingston, Ottawa processing office is in charge, right?

Also, 39 days ago my status was changed to IP, and since then nothing has changed. Is that normal?

Thank you,

I called IRCC today and I was told the following info about my case:

Security Checks - Complete
Criminal Checks - In progress
Background Check - will be set to complete after criminal checks are finished.

My app was received on Oct 17, 2017 and IP - since Jan 14, processed at Vancouver office.

I am actually wondering what exactly they check in Criminality?
The agent was certain that they will send test invite once criminality is complete.

Edited to add: Got FP request - Jan 29, Completed - Feb 1 and Received by IRCC - Feb 8. Mine wouldn't have any adverse results.

If anyone can help me understand about this criminality check, I will be grateful. Thanks

My timeline is same as yours regarding the fingerprints results. RCMP sent the the result on Feb 06,2018. I called the IRCC and they just told me they received the results from RCMP. I am surprised to learn that IRCC gave you that much information regarding fingerprint results. As for the criminal check, I think they are part of the fingerprint verification. There are four steps and they are security, criminal, identity and prohibition check. I might be wrong though. Thanks.
yes that was on Jan 29, completed it Feb 1 and IRCC got the results by Feb 8.

Thanks.
Regarding the FP result, they can tell by when they got it(same as I had done another set and received it for my job around same time). And the results - I know about the results because of the same and I didn't get into trouble, touch-wood! Obviously she can't tell me the results.

My question what exactly is Criminal check? From what she told me this is the only pending task.

I am not 100% sure about criminal check but I am assuming it checks whether you have criminal record or not. Identity checks verified whether you or other person stealing your or other person’s identity or not. Btw, where are you located?
