Hi, I am new in this forum. I have a question: I didn't see anyone talking about biometrics. I got a letter asking to provide mine and my family biometrics. We provided on December but still like we didn't provide it in my GcKey account. Didn't get any other letters like Medical exams yet. I am OINP nominee holder, got AOR in November 2018 and biometrics December 2018. Anyone provided biometrics? what happens after? how long is taking now the process. I am under job offer stream.

hello, Gemini_june how do you find out where is your file? I asked through CIC web form and the answer was just that Central intake office received my application and still in progress also I provided my biometrics on December 26/2018 but my GCKey account still showing that they did not received it yet.

Well I called IRCC and agent told me that my file has been transferred to London Visa Office Canada after initial proceeding at CIO,sydney Nova Scotia. You can ask them to over phone as well.
Well in your situation there is nothing to worry , the issue you are having is kind of technical problem at IRCC end and lots of people are facing this issue now a days. However what I suggest you is call IRCC and ask them that whether they have got your biometrics in their system if answer is yes then no need to worry about at all everything is good and if answer is no then ask them what actions are required at your end. I am sending you link where you can also verify about your finger prints as well online.

My case is different I have not received BIL since day one where as IRCC says the have already sent it to me. So I am worrying and trying to figure out what needs to be done. I have raised CSE and informed them now I can only wait and hope for best.

Regards.

Well to I got talk to them 1 month ago and I had to follow the menu and instructions , so I advise you to keep trying. Lately I have heard that lots of people trying to reach IRCC but unable to talk to them I guess they are have some technical issues.
Well I really do not have any idea for Bio metrics of Inland applicants so cannot really comment on it. Anyways good luck dear hope all end well for us.
