Anyone have any idea if this will affect applications already in progress??

I'm thinking an extra step so longer processing times :(

I guess it will. This article confirms... https://www.balglobal.com/bal-news/canada-to-expand-biometrics-requirement/

"The change will add to the time it takes to obtain visas to travel to, work, reside or study in Canada."

Wow, it also costs $85..

I also found out about this today on the login screen when i went to check my application for any changes :) Sadly no changes :(

Do you have any ideas whether the changes will affect the new applicants only or all applicants in the system even those waiting for ppr?

I think that it will apply to everyone after July 31st if you are still an applicant after that date
