Not everyone gets fingerprint request but if the person does get fingerprint request, the application becomes non-routine.
If the fingerprint records are clear, the result is mailed to cic by the fingerprint agency or if the applicant gets the result, the applicant forwards it to the cic office.
Once cic receives the result, the test can be scheduled within 1-3 months but will depend upon case to case.
