I was asked by CIC to do a FP with RCMP for my citizenship application.
I had an absolute discharge sentenced on Sep 2016. As absolute discharge only stayed on criminal record for one year, I expected it to be purged and I did a fingerprint on last Monday to check if can complete in 3 business days. However, I called RCMP on Friday and was told that the application was still in process and it might take more than 120 days to process because it didn't finish in 3 days. Therefore, my question is that the reason why it finds a fingerprint match in RCMP after absolute discharge purge date, is it because the RCMP delay in purging discharge from criminal record database or discharges/withdrawn charges still show fingerprint matches in the system until I complete the file destruction? In other words, if it is not a criminal record, can RCMP still find a match due to discharge or withdrawal charges and take over 120 days to process? I am frustrated to wait for this... If anyone has previous experience, please give some ideas.. Thanks
