Making us wait to be called by Service Canada is definitely the most inefficient process ever! In 2020?!
Hoping for some solid progress in the coming weeks.

biometrics
- Thread starter Toorkaur
- Start date
So frustrating, especially with talks on a 2nd lockdown in Ontario. Just hoping we can all have our biometrics done this year.
Hey, thanks for the tracker, I think it will be extremely useful.
According to this page (posted by the IRCC twitter account) they are talking about starting these services from Monday:
Maybe this is the reason why there weren't many calls these days.

Don't say anything that you are not aware of like that. Retaking biometrics is mandatory for PR application. Do your own research
hey it does not allow to change name or update something. may be you can start a separate thread for that
Ya. Created this one so that the link doesn't get buried in the messages.

I was in SC last week (Toronto-college) for updating SIN and there was a huge queue only for those who were waiting for SIN and EI. I believe IRCC only tweet the resumption of Biometrics because they received so many complaints about this situation and wanted to make the situation calm. Given the second lockdown in Toronto, there won't be any call for those ppl who are living in GTA. SC has not enough time to cover for those ppl who are coming for SIN and EI, now imagine they wanna handle Biometrics as well !!! Please start tweeting and call IRCC to accept the previous biometrics and save our time instead of waiting for unreliable promises...
updating SIN is completely online right? from when they started it in the office.
No, you can do it in the SC offices as well. I needed to get it ASAP, that's why I applied in person. Since when I don't know. Anyway, SIN is not an issue to discuss here, I just wanted to tell you my personal experience in SC office (Toronto). They only let 5 ppl inside and each person needs to be checked for Covid before going to the office. CERB is going to end next month and lots of ppl are going to apply for EI, which makes it much more difficult for SC to prioritize Biometrics. As long as you're an applicant based in Toronto, don't expect a call from SC in the near future.
Cool! Yep, keep posting it. I've just checked your spreadsheet, already 158 entries and nearly 55% from GTA.
Service Canada in GTA has to up its game.
EI & SIN should be handled by different departments. I dont think the same person is taking SIN applications and biometrics on the same work shift, that's nonsense. I thought they are gradually opening the passport services which include biometrics collections, so other departmental jobs shouldn't be related.
But that's my guess, and I have zero knowledge on how SC departments work. Sad that we are left to make our own guesses instead of getting a clear information.
