Mine was the same the letter had a stamp on it, the envelop had the RCMP logo. Personally, I opened it and send only the letter. In my opinion, it is better to open it and take a picture of the letter and send the letter.

Thank you. Did you resealed the results in envelop or just send the results paper. I mean do we need to send the envelop as well?Mine was the same the letter had a stamp on it, the envelop had the RCMP logo. Personally, I opened it and send only the letter. In my opinion, it is better to open it and take a picture of the letter and send the letter.
No, I didn't send the envelop. The envelop has only some top RCMP texts and logo, nothing is important on the envelop, but you can attach and add it to the letter separately into the carrier envelop.Thank you.

All these updates you received in the citizenship tracker?For those who want RCMP to send the FP result to their mail address. I guess you save a couple of weeks with that. Her is my story.
I got FP request in early 2020, and BG was become completed after a few months at that time. It took time because ot COVID. On Nov 3, 2021, my BG changed from "Completedk to "In progress", I knew that they ask for a new FP since the old one was expired. I went to a FP agency. I took the FP using the old FP request paper because there is no date on the FP request and worked for the 2nd FP. I asked the agency to send the FP result to my address. I received the result from RCMP after a week. I opened the envelop and send the original result to IRCC with FedEx. They received it on Nov 14, 2021. Then, I guess due to an error on the tracker again it showed me they have received the FP on Dec 1, 2021 . BG become completed on Dec 2, 2021.
Therefore, even if it is the first time you are asked for FP, it is totally fine to ask the agency to send the FP to your address once you received the FP request. When you received the FP result by mail from RCMP, forward it to IRCC. You can track it when they have receive it. Here is my full timeline for those are in FP period.

Yes, mine was different. My application is Nov 2019, and because of COVID there was a long delay and the first fingerprint was expired and I was asked for the second one, but today I saw DM.All these updates you received in the citizenship tracker?
Hello,
Please help my understanding. It seems one needs to be proactive by doing the finger print ahead of time and submit same along with the application to save time, right?
My second question. I did background check in August 2021 for volunteering in youth camp, which included biometrics at RCMP. Can I use that document?

Yes, you can do your fingerprint ahead and send it to your address, and open it, then send the original when you got the email for FP. I did that. It was accepted.Hello,

I don't think so that you can use another one, for citizenship, it might be different. You can ask the FP agency for double check. I recommend to take a new one.
