No, I had my biometrics already when I applied for a study permit. Since we submitted our application before June 14, we're unaffected by the new biometric collection policy.
Just wanna share some updates regarding our application:
CEC-Inland
AOR: June 1
UCI linked/Medical/Biometrics: August 24
BG/Eligibility Tracker: Completed
Just received an email from IRCC today regarding portal access. Is this the Portal 1 email?
PGWP approved!
Application Confirm Date: January 7, 2022
Application Approved: June 6, 2022
Did not receive eligibility review update and was just approved today. Good luck everyone! Keep your hopes up!
