Hi..
Did you transfer the file by yourself to Abu Dhabi center or the IRCC transfered it by themselves?

My dependents received a biometrics request by email but they haven't request and form to be filled!! Is this normal??

Thanks!

IRCC transferred my file by itself maybe because I live here.

There is no need to request, they will take what they need.
