Then they might have instituted a temporary shift in public policy. If that is the case, then I guess an AIP can be issued without biometrics.

First stage approval can not be issued without valid biometrics on file. Majority of the cases you see here have been filed in 2018 and 2019 when in Canada applicants were exempt from providing biometrics with their application. Applicants who filed their applications after the biometrics...

You're very welcome.

Well! there you go. Seems like @cantaloupe just described the entire process for you which I would be right to say is far more in depth than anything I could offer.

You can apply for OHIP but not the SIN. You need to have a work permit or a landing paper in order to apply for a social insurance number.

Correct. Sometimes they issue those instructions the same day as the AIP. I think it all depends on the adjudicating officer.

As for the OHIP: You can apply for it with an Approval in Principle letter. AIP letter generally stipulates that your application has been approved on the basis of the documentation you submitted. But you still need to meet the statutory requirements stated in the Act. That is something every...

I had contact info for one of the senior immigration officials, and at one point I phoned her and left her a voicemail. She unexpectedly called me after my mom was issued an AIP, and she said it's good that things are going well or something along those lines. At that time, we were waiting on...

Biometrics were not a requirement for individuals who filed their petitions in FY2018 from within Canada, which is generally the case for H and C applications. Therefore, on the basis of a petition lock-in date, they have traditionally not been subjected to providing IRCC with their biometrics...

Hey Congratulations @bushra1122 I guess we will talk next in a couple of years when the folks are ready to file for their naturalization.

My mom's CoPR letter stated the same, but we sent two regardless. Got em done at staples so I dont know how they messed them up. But the second time they did not charge for the pictures. They sent my mom another letter notifying that her pictures do not meet the specified requirements and...

Hi, as for the security what documents/proof did you provide? And how long did you get the letter after the AIP? Hi Don't worry about the security part. It is something a third party conducts on behalf of IRCC. The third party is another department within the Government of Canada, and the...

Hi @bushra1122 my mom received a notice this past week saying a PR card can not be issued because her photographs did not comply with the requirements and the department asked her to send 2 PR card photos again, which we did the same day. So, I think her PR card application is progressing...

Hi A temporary public policy came into force this past month or so which granted temporary residents who currently reside in Canada the reprieve to provide biometrics in support of their temporary residence application. However it’s important to note that this policy only covered in Canada...

The application is not in process unless your status on e-cas gets upgraded to an in process stage. A request for biometrics is a part of the application completion process. Your application is not complete and can not be processed as per IRPR until there is valid biometrics on file. I believe...

Hi Bushra Thank you for your reply. We were sent the COPR letter and the request for a picture that meets the PR card photo requirements on July 27, 2020. The start date of my mom's PR card application is July 27, 2020 - the same day she was granted permanent residency. So far, there has been...

The actual processing of your application has not begun yet. Bio-metrics are a part of the application package and your application will not be deemed complete without completing or complying with this requirement. At some point, your application will be pre-screened and triaged at...
