There will be separate letters for each individual on the application. If you have no receive done, the it has not yet been generated. So just give it some time.

As regards call, it will depend on your local Service Canada office closest to you.

Did your spouse receive BIL?

I have applied study permit as primary applicant with spouse and kid...my spouse has received BIL...
Shall I wait for some time? Or drop an email to IRCC?

No, my spouse has not received the BIL yet. I would suggest you to send a webform and let me know what they respond.

I raised query on web form and i received the BIL. But now i am unable to book appointment for him as it says-
"At this time we are not permitted to offer appointments for categories other than Family Class Priority and Study Permit. Please continue to visit the COVID-19 page on this website for further updates "

Any idea on this as I have applied for study permit and my spouse for SOWP...?

You have to wait for an email from VFS to book his appointment in this case.

Hi @legalfalcon ,

I have finally received the BIL for my spouse but it's for PNP-Paper application as I did apply for that as well. It has her former name based on the old passport that I had submitted. However, I have also submitted her amended passport, name change affidavit and marriage certificate to reflect this change. Do I have to ask CIC to send me an updated BIL or she can give her biometrics based on the current one?

You can use your current BIL and when you go for your biometrics carry you old passport with you.

Hi,

Did you raise a webform for BIL not received?

my AOR is Nov 16th, applied for PR under CEC with an outland dependent. Meds passed on Dec 21st, and Bio updated for spouse(as she had given it already) but whereas I didn't get the BIL still.

@legalfalcon any idea what could be the reason that the PA didn't receive BIL, thank you.

Hi,
I only received my BIL, but yet to receive my wife's. Can I go ahead to book an appointment for biometrics, or would i need to wait for hers?

Hey Good day, I am in the same situation. We paid for " family biometrics" so I assume when I receive my BIL means both of us has to present for the biometric appointment, however I can only set an appointment for my name only on VFS.... so I am not sure what to do
