as per CIC: No, when you apply for a visitor visa or a work or study permit and you give your biometrics, they will stay valid for a 10-year period, even if your visa or permit application is refused or has expired.

I don't think so. Applicants will have to give biometrics again for PR application. Check it here: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics.asp

If you apply for permanent residence
You need to give biometrics.

If you’re between 14 and 79 years old, you need to give your fingerprints and photo for all permanent resident applications, even if you already gave us your biometrics and they’re still valid. This includes:
You need to make an appointment to give biometrics.

Before 2020 this rule was not applicable. Now its compulsary for to give biometrics. Its another way to rip off the pocket.
 
True. I'm seeing on the tracker that people with AOR at end of March have just got Medical Passed at end of May - 2 months these days.
Usually the time window is 3 months but i have seen before corona, people passed their medical in 20 days.
 
Hope we see some medical pass message in upcoming weeks. Good luck to all folks
