AOR 24 August Inland – No BIL for Spouse Yet (Eligibility & Medical Completed)

[kumarvk]

Hi everyone,
I applied for my spouse’s PR under the spousal category. AOR is 24 August 2024. Eligibility and medicals are already completed, but my spouse has not received a Biometrics Instruction Letter (BIL) yet.
Interestingly, when I applied for my own PR earlier, I had added my spouse as a non-accompanying family member, and biometrics (photo & fingerprints but its from RCMP i dont think its same as BIL) were done at that time. I also attached those biometrics when applying for her PR.
Any insights would be appreciated!

She would have done biometrics during your PR application.

IRCC asked for RCMP photo and fingerprints (when my application was in process) but that i don't think so same as IRCC BIL.

BIL is fingerprints

I applied for PR through as provincial nominee. I received my AOR at the end of November 2025. It has been about 4 months now, but I still haven't received the biometrics instruction letter (BIL).

On the PR tracker, the biometrics section still shows “In progress”.

I noticed that many applicants who applied around the same time received their biometrics request either together with the AOR or shortly after.

Is this delay normal? Has anyone experienced a similar situation? How can I do?

Thank you!
