Canada’s recent immigration policies have recently become very generous. In May 2021, the new pathway for international students and essential workers brought in over 90,000 new candidates for permanent residency. Additionally, the CRS level for Express Entry draws has been the lowest on record this year.

With the consistent increase in permanent residency application, we here at The Fingerprint Room Inc. have noticed RCMP’s processing delays for criminal record checks applied under Canadian Permanent Residency (Landed Immigrant Status). All other application types such as Canadian Citizenship, employment and foreign visa/immigration are not affected, and the average turnaround time for these applications remain to be 5 to 10 business days on average.

If you are one of our clients who have received the invitation, and are facing a deadline for submitting your documents, please contact IRCC directly. Using our emailed invoice and the RCMP explanation letter as support documents, many of our clients have been successfully granted deadline extensions. If you have not received the RCMP email or have more inquiries, please feel free to contact via email or phone call. We understand the importance of the document and its urgency, we try our best to provide our clients tailored solutions based on real circumstances.
