When is your security started, do you know ? I am April 26th applicant and it shows background check is not started and this makes me worried. Could you please share your province too ?

Hi everyone! Hope all is well.

I had an update today for my dependant, we have received the medical exam and fingerprint request for my spouse which is overseas. Though I haven't received FD as the main applicant yet. I never heard that a dependant receive medical without the main applicant being approved or getting FD, any thoughts on this? And is it a good sign?

Plus, she received the fingerprint however she had her fingerprint couple years ago for visitor visa, do they need another fingerprint for PR? Is it new? I thought the fingerprint is valid for 10 years, regardless of the application.

Pls advise on both questions
Thankss

Im still in background check!

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.
