Its a good sign that your file is moving. Congrats. As for the biometrics, its normal. When you apply for PR for the first time, IRCC usually ask for a fresh biometrics for whatever reason. Biometrics for temporal resident permits like study permit, visitors visa etc are not valid for PR. I have given 3 biometrics myself. One for my trv, one for when I applied for asylum and one for my PR.
Congratulations!!... This is a ray of hope! Goodnews indeed.
Guys, there’s finally good news
I originally applied on paper on January 7, 2021.
In March 2023, I received a call from IRCC (unknown number) informing me that my file was no longer available due to an administrative error. After waiting almost 2 years, I was asked to reapply through the online portal so it could be finalized quickly. But that never happened.
Timeline:
It’s been a very long and exhausting journey, so I’m not even overly excited—but I’m truly grateful that it’s finally coming to an end.
Stay hopeful, everyone. Your turn will come too

Congratulations , When is your security started, do you know how many months it takes or, does it directly process from not started to this stage?
I checked my portal 2 days ago and always showed background in progress. Never showed security started BUT I requested for the notes of my husband file and in that notes, received yesterday appeared principal applicant(me) security started on March 18). So they can be checking your security and it doesnt appear in your portal.
Heartly congrates to you .I can feel pain of a mother who is far away from her daughter
