My timeline - Inland CEC-EE:

AOR: July 30th
Medical passed: September 23, 2020.
Biometrics: We have not received your fingerprints. Check your biometrics request message below for details.
-> BUT: I see my earlier biometrics from a previous application is linked to my CEC-Inland-PR-Profile!

Confused, why biometrics are linked (biometrics exemption for inland-pr app) but message shows "we have not received biometrics" - technical issue? Happy to hear from you -
thanks so much!

Thanks so much @AshishS87 - so kind of you to answer me!
Biometrics was entered into my EE-Profile end of September. It said "Action Required" changed to "Submitted" in the status, but it still states in the status timeline:

"We have not received your fingerprints. Check your biometrics request message below for details."

-> Confusing :)!

at this stage, it will need an agent to manually load you biometrics. once its done, it will show "biometrics complete on ''%SomeDate%'".

@AshishS87 - Awesome! You have calmed me down A LOT! Thanks to you, it's also that I don't want to webform IRCC and bother them!

Ugh. I caved and called CIC today. Wanted to know that my LOE is there as I can’t see it online. They confirmed it was. Agent had no other news regarding my processing. What I see is what he had. He did say my application is at the Ottawa case center. Is that good or bad? No idea when it moved there. Had a ghost update day after MEP/BIL.

AOR July 31

bio exempt and waiting for bio to update to completed.

My parents forgot to tick the box for patience, when they ordered me. I have none. This is killing me and I’m just half way through the average 6 months processing time.

Gah!!

Hi all,

I received ITA in June 2020 and submitted all my documents in July 2020. I am currently waiting on decision while they assess my application. Estimated completion date for my application on cic site (progress bar on top) is displayed as January 24, 2021.

I am currently employed in Canada through a post graduate work permit which is valid for another 1.5 years. I wanted to go back and visit my home country for a month and half from January to February. If I receive a Passport request (PPR) or if my application is approved through CIC while I am outside of Canada (as estimated in January), Will I be able to re-enter canada on my work permit? Will my PGWP still be valid at that point?

You need a TRV visa to re-enter Canada.And will not be able to re-enter with just your work permit.

The Temporary Resident Visa and Work Permit are separate applications. You just need your TRV to re-enter Canada.

I do have work permit TRV, will that work?
TRV is like the visa stamping of the paper copy of PGWP you got in mail..it has the same details and validity as of your PGWP..google it if you are not sure how it looks like..similar to the study visa stamping you got on passport when coming to canada for first time..
