Hi everyone, I have a quick question and was hoping someone could help me out.

I recently realized that I forgot to pay the biometrics fee for my application. I had assumed the biometrics from my spouse’s study permit would be sufficient, but I was corrected when I received an email from IRCC on May 25. In that email, I was asked to resend my IMM5406e form and pay the biometrics fee. I completed both actions on the same day.

I’m now wondering—should I wait to receive the biometrics instruction letter from IRCC, or is it possible for me to go ahead and book a biometrics appointment without it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You need a biometric instruction letter to book biometric. So, all you need to do is wait. I’m in similar situation too

You can't book biometrics without the letter from IRCC. You're required to bring the instruction letter with you at the time of the appointment.

You might get AIP 4 to 6 months after being sent your application. Usually bio comes first. My spouse is still waiting.
