Hi all,
I had done my biometrics on February 3rd, 2021 and in my IRCC portal it was not updated and the msg read as we have not received your biometrics after reviewing my webform. But now, on March 15th, 2021, I have again received a biometrics collection letter. But the letter content is the same as the first one, it does not specify the reason for taking the biometrics again. What shall I do? Has anyone else faced this situation?

Hey I'm facing the same biometrics issue. I gave my biometrics on Feb 18, I can see all my biometrics details like enrollment date, expiry date and biometrics number. But still on the bottom left section of updates it says we need your fingerprints. I raised a few webforms,but no update from IRCC.

Oh damn! That sucks. Hope you get the PPR soon. So you are gonna give it again? Ugh I hope this won't create any delay in my medical request letter :(

I had also raised a webform, but after that the message changed as "We have not received your fingerprints". No again it is "We need you fingerprints" and also a new BIL (same as the first one).
I contacted VFS, they said I have to confirm from the high commission itself. But high commission is not responding to mails and calls. What shall we do?

Oh okay. Raise a webform explain them your query. It will take a few weeks for them to reply. Yeah the immigration offices takes up to a month to reply back. Where are you applying from?
Also did you check if your biometrics are valid on the IRCC site?

Here is the link if you haven't.

Attach the tracking id/ biometrics receipt with the webform as a proof you got from the VFS.

If your fingerprints are not updated in the database of IRCC. You might have to give them again.

Thank you. I'll check that.
Also, I have a query, I had raised a webform before, so should we maintain any time gap before raising the next webform?

Depends on when did you raised it. But yeah do keep a gap of a week I'd suggest. And do tweak the message, as the system is v smart analysing the same message you know what I mean?
