Really depends on when Canada ends its lockdowns. Currently I think there is a lot of people go their application all processed but still not granted COPR because IRCC's reasoning is if they issue COPR and people can't enter they will need to renew COPR anyways. Plus they stated in January that FSW is being processed in limited capacity. That being said. There is not many FSW applications since Dec since there was no FSW draws until now. But in my opinion the boarder policy and lockdowns really play the biggest role here in terms of FSW processing timeline.

Average processing time in 2019 was 9 months and thats before the lockdowns.

9 months is not the average, but the time it took to process 80% of applications in 2019. From my understanding, processing time is very individual, depending on your location, if you have dependents, how good are your documents, etc...
Nice point about "no FSW draws until now", didn't think about it, it gives me hope that once the traveling is restarting, our applications may be processed pretty fast.

I did....i got appointment for tomorrow itself...

Same. I called them and they shared the same information.
Did you receive Acknowledge receipt??

 

[Gurp1313]

I booked at Chandigarh..... I will submit my biometrics tomorrow and will wait for my spouse's appointment....as if you miss the appointment you ll face more problem as web form will not allow to schedule appointment with already registered application number.....

I also did the same. I raised a webform for me and sent an email for my husband. Didn't got an appointment for both of us yet.
You booked an appointment at which location?

 

[Gurp1313]

You ll have to wait then....they ll get back to you on mail once the slot is booked ...

Do we get 3 mails from vfs and last one being the appointment letter? I got 2 emails but no mention of appointment date and time

Same situation. Only the automated acknowledgment mail.

 

[Gurp1313]

Anyone noticed IP2? After biometric? Any changes recently?

 

[mandeep85]

hey guys.....i was able to successfully submit the web form for biometrics today in India. They did not confirm me the date and time but got an acknowledgement that I will be informed soon about the slot. However, me and my wife are supposed to schedule for biometrics but they do not accept 2 applicants for the same Express Entry application number. Will the second applicant will be allowed to accompany the main applicant?? need guidance over this.....thanks in advance....

same with me

Ahmedabad. I got appointment for tomorrow, However spouse is still left.

Yes. There would be confirmation letter in the final mail. And they share our user id and password to confirm the date and time given by them

Do you still see status on account home page as “Your action is required”? Do you still see “We need your fingerprints...” under Biometrics status?

It was like that for about a week before changing to "submitted" and biometrics number showed up.
