did anyone submit fingerprints in Toronto in an accredited agency? how did the process go, and how quickly did ircc receive the results? were you given the results as well? how did you find out when rcmp received the results and when immigration received them?

@hssrp
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, citizenship application was for my daughter, son-in-law and my two grandsons.
My next endeavour is to get PR for myself. I am here on Super Visa. Any suggestions about that. Is there a group that could be helpful?

Unfortunately, the only avenue that I am aware of is the Parents and Grandparents PR pathway, which is a game of luck. Not sure when they will open it up for new applications as they are still doing the lottery with applications submitted in 2020. I hope they open up soon and you get picked in the lottery.

Hi Everyone

Me and wife took the citizenship test recently. Mine was updated to complete in 2 days after taking test. But wife took it on Nov 9 and still the tracker shows as citizenship test in progress. Our test window ends on Nov 16, is it a case of concern if the status is not updated before that ?

Wife took the test & failed for the first time , the same day (within an hour) she took the second attempt and passed. Is this why her status is not being updated till now?

I got my fingerprints done today. It was very fast and the officer was super nice. She said the RCMP should have them within the hour of sending. So we shall see. I haven't received any emails or updates saying the RCMP or the Vancouver office has received them. Will I see such an email in the next few days? Thanks!

 

[Lady_Ashka]

thanks very much got answering. let us know how quickly you got to see ab update in the ircc system. is this your last thing before the oath or are you waiting on other parts to be completed?

Hi, It usually takes a week for the it to be updated. Each applicant's test is evaluated individually. If you have the email where your temporary results are sent, you should be good. It is the email that come right after the test. Also, this week had a holiday. Her results should be updated by Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

Hi thanks for the reply . But our test window is expiring this Sunday , so is it fine if we get the update after that ? Or will it be a problem

It should be fine. A lot of people attempt test in the last days and get results updated after the test window. And you have proof of successful completion so you are good.

Hi,
Looks like Niagara Falls office is very slow. Please share the timeline if anyone got to oath through Niagara Falls office successfully?
