need help with understanding my application's status

[deepikaarora]

I have received the following status on my application. Can someone tell me what these statuses really mean. Also, if I need to be worried for anything? How long does it usually take after each of these statuses. Thanks

It's a standard status list.
You passed the medical which is great news. And if you passed it a few days ago, you can be confident you also passed R10 (Completeness check).
Everything is going well for your application so far, but don't expect many updates after this, if none at all...
Now the waiting game begins. Aim for processing time of 6 months from your AOR date.
If you applied after December 31st, (or after July 31st for certain countries), you are yet to receive Biometrics Instruction Letter in the upcoming weeks.

Thanks...i submitted my application on October 11th and the estimated completion date on this status is showing as April 11th. This is the usual 6 months time. Also, what is meant by biometrics instructions letter? Do i need to send them my biometrics card as well?

For biometrics, applicants from some countries who applied between July 31st and December 31st receive instructions for providing biometrics at closest visa center.
So it depends which country you're citizen of, and if you're applying from inside or outside Canada.
Starting December 31st, all (besides some exceptions) applications submitted are subject to biometrics.

thanks.... I was not aware of that. I am an Indian but have been residing in USA for past 4 years and so I applied from US.

No biometrics for you.
