Anyone for Pune VAC still waiting for Biometric appointment or received confirmation ? I have applied 2 days back still no response

I did not receive any appointment details yet. Did you get the second email from VFS about appointment booked?

May I ask when did you apply the biometric enrollment? Because I booked for biometric on 24th Feb but did not receive this email yet. I only received an automated acknowledged message. Did I miss something?

Don't worry. I visited Chennai VFS on Friday for my biometric submission. When asked, they said that the slots were full until Monday, and those who have booked already would get their appointments by next week. So, what I understand is that they are not sending out the appointments all at once. First, they confirm appointments for 2 days, and next set of people for next 2 days, batch by batch.

You have received an acknowledgment. You will get an sms and 3 emails once your appointment is confirmed. Cheers!

I too applied on the same date. They declared that the application for appointment takes 2 working days to be approved however delay may be expected. However I received a text message on my phone the next day about the appointment date and time. The next day they sent me the email too that had appointment letter attached.

I believe the time may vary for case to case (may be because of the availability due to high rush). There may be a delay but I don't think there can be any other reason. Your appointment letter must be on it's way.

My question is, is it normal that I did not receive any Biometrics request for my wife? Or only the primary applicant biometrics is enough at this stage? Thanks in advance.

@legalfalcon I just realised that my work reference letter is missing contact details of the company. My AOR is 31 Jan and MEP 16 February. I submitted revised work reference via web form on 23 February. Should I be worried that my application may fail the R10 check? Ircc is taking long to reply to webforms so I'm not sure if they have received my document. It's too early to order GCMS notes but do you have any suggestions on what I can do? Application is FSW Outland.

Does the progress bar showing up for all applicants indicate that the IRCC might be returning to normal?

I think most people find it worthless

The progress bar disappears and returns every now and then. It’s just the elapsed time between your AOR and the 6 month average processing time so it’s not indicative of where your application is at at any point of those 6 months (e.g., reaching 60% doesn’t mean your eligibility is already passed, etc). Tbh, IRCC should just do away with it as it gives false hopes to candidates and is useless.

If you look at the average processing time for CEC and FSW in 2019, 80% of applications were completed in 7 and 9 months respectively. This was pre-covid. See table 35 of https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...nuals/express-entry-year-end-report-2019.html

for your spouse, you reply back on mail from which you received the appoint details with letter. Give all the details as you gave while scheduling your appointment with a request to schedule your spouse's appointment. VFS will schedule and will share the appointment details on you mail itself.
Alternatively, take your spouse along with you at your scheduled slot, enrol her for PPR premier service by paying INR 3050 in cash and they whill give you the immediate slot for your spouse. (this is what I did)

Also attach your spouse's BIL letter.
