Then you most likely won’t need to do them again unless IRCC specifically requests it.

It is a rule protected person must submitted biometrics for pr irrespective of previous biometrics for refugee claim. I do not know why ircc not giving biometrics request along with AOR it will delay the process and nothing
IRCC usually requires new biometrics even if biometrics were given for the refugee claim before. This is because PR processing often requires a separate biometrics record linked to the PR application.

From my understanding and online researches, $635 processing fee is all that’s required from protected person for the PR application and that’s all I paid.
This $635 is application fee .you have to pay additional $85 for biometric at the time of application otherwise they not generate BIL
They go all similar. Good Luck to USBELOW IS EVERYTHING ON MY PORTAL ATM:

I didn’t know about that as the firm that handled the application for me didn’t mention any of such to me and I was only told to input my card details just for the processing fee. Do you have any suggestions on how I can go about paying the biometric fee? Or it’s late now??
After receiving your BIL and completing biometrics following your AOR, you are on the right track. You do not need to do anything unless IRCC requests additional information.

According to the regulation, protected persons in Canada are exempt from paying this fee when applying for certain immigration processes (such as permanent residence). However, as far as I know, many protected persons still paid the $85 fee and were not refunded. https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/section-315.1.html?utm
