It took around a week for my application number and biometrics request, usually it just takes 30 minutes and even after i submitted my biometrics they didn't update my application after 15 days now..usually they update that in 1 business day.
I don't know why are they taking so much time now.
I found this on CICs website
" Online applications: After we receive your application, it may take up to 5 days for you to see it in your account. We are working to make this wait time shorter. If your application does not appear after 5 days,
contact us and report a technical problem. This issue will not delay processing of your application"
