Mississauga Citizenship Applicants

Thanks.
Well , I hv already waited for 5.5 months after test to DM. I don't deserve more wait

I know the pain - we also wrote our tests on April 05 and got DM only last week.

Also, I personally know a family (from Mississauga) who did their tests after you and they completed their Oath in May itself. And then there are so many other locations where people who submitted their applications much later and/or wrote test much later have also completed their process.

But its a Lottery, sadly I have left it to destiny now. Waiting to see when it will be over.

Lets see . wish you good luck as well . You are right as they are working as if its a lottery system. This all has become too stressful. Even if its the last step but it seems like lot of work is still pending.

Where did you see the date on the tracker and when was your decision made?

3.5 months after DM . They hv converted the days into months.
Did they sent you an email of oath or just updated the date on the tool ?

I'm just wondering but what on earth is the need for a 2nd set of fingerprints? They don't change and I just find it's ridiculous for another request.....Not had a request yet but really hope I don't get one

True. But they saying they don't keep finger print in file after one year but don't get it why can't they keep in file for exception scenarios like Covid. Some of the processes is meaningless.

So they just get rid of ALL fingerprints after a year...hhhmmm.... how strange....why not just keep them on file then.....not like they're physically storing them and it takes up too much physical space....never understood workings of cic

Fingerprints are requested because for some applicants, RCMP cannot provide a criminality clearance without fingerprints. Criminality clearance is only valid for 1 year. So, if a decision is NOT made on your application within that time, you will be requested another set of fingerprints to get a fresh criminality clearance from RCMP.

Just FYI -

Criminality Clearance - RCMP - Valid for 1 year
Security Clearance - CSIS - Valid for 4 years
Immigration Clearance - IRCC (and probably CBSA) - Valid for 1 year

Hi

I'm not questioning their 'initial' reasoning for requesting fingerprints, my question is why get rid of the fingerprints after a year when they don't change and therefore causing more, headache, stress and financial burden on the applicant? It makes zero sense. As for a decision not being made....well I applied in Sept 2019, FP request in Feb 2020, Covid hit, test came through April 21....re-scheduled and took in July 21.....so more than likely it'll be another stressful time for me because they can't be bothered to retain my original set on file for more than 365 days!

Also as for criminality clearance, it'll also more than likely mean a new set of police certificates from the UK for both myself and my wife and more expenditure.....

God bless the CIC

You will most likely NOT be asked for new PCCs again.

About the fingerprints, AFAIK, RCMP will use those prints only once and once the criminality clearance is issued, the fingerprints are destroyed (probably to prevent misuse?). If a new clearance is to be issued, a new set of fingerprints are needed.
