Hello everyone,
I posted the following question several times but I could not get a clear answer for it. I hope I will get one this time. I am an outland FSW (aor: January 18th). Is biometrics needed for the secondary applicant immediately after the MEP? Actually, my biometrics were automatically registered from a previous visa application that's why I did not receive any request to do it. However, my wife has never done the biometrics before and still IRCC did not request it. Is this normal at this stage?
My biometrics instructions read as follows:

My husband and I are in the same situation. I had my biometrics taken last year, MEP but still no biometrics collection letter for him.
He's the primary applicant

There wasn't any option when I applied for biometrics through webform. They however asked me whether I want to have faster passport handling after PPR (3 to 4 days), if so I have to pay Rs. 3050 (though I already paid my biometrics fee beforehand). Other option was slow processing that may take around 45 day. They were still charging for that as well. So I opted for the faster one. They told me that while I submitted my passport after PPR, I have to fill the premium option there.
Not sure if that's going to make any difference.
I applied for Vfs Chandigarh on 24th feb and got it booked for today (1st march). These charges that I paid are additional to the biometrics fee we pay during the application. You can choose between quicker processing (Rs. 3050) and normal one (Rs. 2000). However they will be charging you that extra amount.
This was when I visited vfs office. They asked me in person to choose between these options.
Yes, they told me the same. I don't know how would that help. I did pay however.
Hi! Yes I am FSW EE. I gave my biometrics on feb 25 2021. fingers crossed. My friend is in Canada now. she went through visitor visa.
My IRCC account shows - 28% percent progress and PR in 4 months timeframe.
Does this mean anything, or is it just showing some system-generated stat and in reality the full process might still take a year to complete?

Don't pay much attention to it , the normal processing time for 80% of applications in 2019 was 9 months and that was before COVID , I think in the current situation the normal processing time would be a year.
Shows the same for me. I believe its just the timeframe they present in percentage from AoR to the next six months for everyone. I don't think it's has a great significance.
I have submitted my ITR on Dec 23rd 2019 (OINP), and I have received a message to resubmit medicals on Feb 2nd 2021, i have resubmitted them and the medical status is updated in my application on Feb 15th 2021.
How long it might take after medical to process the application. I have heard lot of applications got processed which are submitted after Dec 23rd also. What could be the reason of delay in my application?

Received a ghost update today. Completed my biometrics yesterday. The status changed from submitted to Application/profile updated when I logged in today and again to submitted after logging out and then in one more time. I've heard that usually a ghost update follows biometrics completion and there are total 3 ghost updates.
Is there anyone who got it as well? What stage of processing is the application on at this point of time?
