As per the new announcement biometrics not needed if already given in the past for immigration right? I came here on ICT and then applied for PR in CEC, do I still need to give biometrics?
Have you given biometrics within the past 10 years? If yes, you should be exempted. You won’t receive a call from service Canada. Wait for the biometrics section of your profile to get updated - not sure how long you’d have to wait though.

Hi

I have just received my GCMS note.
There are many white pages with the note "Page X is withheld pursuant to section Y of the Access to Information Act".
In addition, some sections are omitted. I mean I have "Application 1" and then "Application 5" and empty space (covered) between them.

Could anyone help me with what they mean?

Thanks

It's perfectly normal. Have a look at the below forum.

It is shown in my CIC account. There is also CoRP file information like file number and validation and so on, but no actually pdf to download. I'm currently in Canada, just wondering if they will mail to me.
