biometrics

[Zeph99]

Its so frustrating when you don’t have annnnnnyy idea when they will call you.

so true. I kept swinging between anxiety and then being less attentive because i assumed calls for May would be several weeks out if they followed their own process. then seeing they weren't attending to their own rules made me anxiously tied to my phone again. Getting the call today was such a relief, no panicking everytime i get in an elevator...

Currently on hold to the IRCC line waiting for an agent. Can they actually tell me anything other than what it already says on my home page when I log in?

I understand the visa free nations but I just found it strange since biometrics last for ten years....I didn't imagine a lot of persons being in Canada for more than 10 years prior to applying for PR...thanks for the insight

Hi, not only Visa-Free nations were exempted from giving Biometrics. in fact many countries didn't require biometrics before July 30, 2018. Now I wish it was required for my country .

SO true, even feb applicants haven't gotten any call in vancouver

Do not forget me! I am a Jan 10 AOR in Vancouver/Surrey.

Ok, everyday we learn something new. Thanks for the clarification.

I dont think so
Normally they will call your from private number

Some people were mentioning them calling from the office numbers, which could be that number... Hard to tell, no direct order

Hi all,

Got the SC call today! The lady I spoke to seamed to be working on a postal code-based list. That would explain the odd order for calls.

AOR: March 10, 2020
BIL: April 26, 2020
Ottawa, ON

Patience is a virtue. Good luck!
