From what I’ve read, if you are in Canada or ever applied to come to Canada before and have done biometrics at one point, that biometrics is valid for 10 years, which means if you are applying for TRA or Work Permit, you don’t need to give a new biometrics. But for your PR application, you have to give new biometrics every time you apply for PR

My BOWP just got approved!! I applied on March 20th.

My BOWP just got approved!! I applied on March 20th.

Good news! I thought BOWP is taking more than 3 months.

 

[ropetech]

Good news! I thought BOWP is taking more than 3 months.

That's what I thought too! Possibly because my current WP expired beginning of May?

That's amazing! Did you get to provide your biometrics before the closure of the offices? and I believe the portal will be updated once they request your passport.

If your application has been approved, it means you have passed your eligibility, criminality, and security.
Your application portal will be updated to reflect this after they request for your passport.
You are one lucky fellow to have your application approved this early especially if you're FSW-O

 

[nihal.h]

Yes, provided biometric right before the closure actually
