Question about fingerprints and background check. Every few years, I have to do an RCMP vunerable sector check to volunteer at my kids school. My name is close enough to someone with a warrant that I have to get fingerprinted everytime. Our birthdays don't match its just first and last name match. Our local police office says this actually happens a lot on VS checks.

I'm just curious, does anyone have any data points or similar experiences where this issue also likely triggers a FP check with IRCC?
 
Is it possible to get test invitation from Scarborough(SCR) office and when I called IRCC , they say the processing office is Vancouver. In which scenario does that happen?
 
Is it possible to get test invitation from Scarborough(SCR) office and when I called IRCC , they say the processing office is Vancouver. In which scenario does that happen?
Yes, it's possible. Personally I'm increasingly skeptical the 'office' designations that they make have any specific meaning except some sub-specialization in certain steps (which may change any time) and for things physically located (eg in-person oath ceremonies). We got oath invites from Scarborough as in GTA.
Any idea which office this could be then?
No. Not that I think it matters. It may be an account used (somewhat like a bot) to send test invites, so it's possible it's really just a server.

As above: I think they're increasingly using specialized accounts and functions which may or may not have any meaningful geographic 'office' attached to it. Even those offices that do have some geographic thing may have employees working from elsewhere.
