There are many private fingerprinters. You can use them and they will often digitize the prints for you too. Are you currently in Canada or the US? Once you have the digital prints you can submit the digital prints electronically to CCRTIS if you are within Canada.

We are in Canada right now. Interview is on the 14th of December, so we’re trying to do it as fast as possible.

I did my medical today at medisys in Montreal. It went well. They asked for 5 passport pictures, passport, interview letter and immunization record. When I arrived they asked me to filed a form. Then was asked to wait in the waiting room. I strongly recommend to bring something to keep you entertained while you are waiting because on a busy day, it’s long. I waiting 3h30 in total. They mail you your copy of the X-ray and they send the whole thing electronically to the consulate, they said it takes them approximately 5 business days for the consulate to receive it.

I used a private fingerprinter, submitted to commissionaires and had the police certificate in my hands 8 days later (this was done from the U.S., so that included time to receive it in the mail). The time from receipt of fingerprints to RCMP completion was 3 business days, so very quick.

I was there today too and it also took 3h30 total. Mostly waiting around to be seen by the doctor, nurse, get X-ray. 
The flu vaccine is 35$ there if you don’t get it before.

I was there at 11 until 2:30 pm 

I was in the bigger room in the corner for most of the time. 

Glad this part is over. I had to drive from 2 hours away so it was a long day. A lot of construction around the building and road closures so make sure to get there early if you are driving.

You’re allowed to have your phone for medical right? Just not the interview?

Most people were on their phone. At the interview you can’t have it.

I think that just needs to be given as a general warning for all of Montreal. I've never seen so much construction in one city all at the same time! 😂

My husband did his medical with Dr. Mascarenhas today. He was done in an hour and a half. The longest wait was to see the doctor. Labs and X-ray were quick.

Hi,

 

Even if my case was updated : 17 Nov- 2020 ,  'READY'.  Today, I was trying to register my appointment in Montreal, but I couldn't do it.  Maybe someone can help me.

 

thx

As a native Montrealer, I can tell you all that the orange construction cone has become the city’s most renown symbol.
 

Some days, some streets are open, some days not. Or even, they change direction. It’s such a pleasure driving around 😂

 

And you’d think we were a North American city, until you see the conditions of our roads. It’s been like this for a decade at least 🤦🏻‍♀️
 

So anticipate to run into issues as you drive to the consulate. Especially since St-Catherine reduced traffic on the street, and removed parking on both sides.

Sometimes you have to wait 24 hours before it lets you. I guess it works differently for everyone. We had to wait when we got our date

My passport came today! I just picked it up from the post office

 

I’m in Vancouver. Tracking number was received Monday (November 16th), and the passport was available today for pickup at 9am local time today (November 18th). So only 2 days to  get across the country!
