2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

[Star55]

Hi is this first time ircc ask about biometrics for protected person pr ?

Hi ,
When I checked whether my biometrics were still valid or not, I found that they were not . However . the letter says they are valid until 2030. I think the validity period may have changed from 10 years to 5 years.
This might be the reason they requested another biometrics for my file .

All application for PR must do another biometrics. They do not use biometrics given during TRV like visitor, study and even refugee claim etc for PR. The reason, I do not know. I have given biometrics 3 times myself within my 5 years journey.

I think you can give biometrics only when IRCC asks you to do so …. Correct ?

They will send the BIL, the instructions letter, without that document you cant.

We are May 2023. And security hasn’t started yet. No updates.
I am also wondering if there are any groups or other forums

Fo you receive any bio metrics request since you applied ,m?

does it say your info sharing passed? or did it always stay in progress

 

[Flowercita]

does it say your info sharing passed? or did it always stay in progress

it could be. in my case I gave bio just after received AOR. Long time ago, just like 3 months after submitted.
Now your process should be close to end.

Hi everyone,
I realize this might not be the right group, but I’m hoping for some advice.
I applied for PR on August 28, 2024, received my AOR in November 2024, and got a biometrics request in December. I completed biometrics for myself and my overseas spouse on December 31, 2024.
Since then, I haven’t heard anything from IRCC, no eligibility letter or updates. Is this normal? Is anyone else in the same situation?

Hi, that’s normal. In my case, I’m the dependent overseas while my spouse is in Canada. We didn’t hear from IRCC until about 8 months later, when we received our eligibility letter after biometrics. Since then, it has been another 10 months with no updates after receiving the eligibility and pre-arrival letters—and we’re still waiting
