New message from CIC

[Mohsinmehmood0]

Hi,

I applied on 5 OCT and also linked my application on same day. My review eligibility started on 13 OCT. Today November 5 I've got a new message and I don't know what it indicates? I know my biometric validity dates but why would they send me a mail just telling me about my biometric validity?
Curious! Can someone help me what this message indicates?

It means they got your biometrics and they're good for ten years. If you apply for other visas, you will not be required to re-submit biometrics.

Here is the catch.. This is my second application, The first one, they didnt send this letter but i got refusal due to progression of studies . And now they sent this after a long wait from them . Is there any one who has been in same situation and ended up getting his visa or rejected?
Do you guys think the chances are +'ve

I don't understand.

You applied for a TRV and got refused, and then later got this letter?

This letter has absolutely nothing to do with the success of a TRV application. It is merely an acknowledgement that you submitted biometrics.

If you've been refused your TRV, that application is not still ongoing. This letter does not mean it's un-refused. This letter does not change your chances of receiving a TRV in the future. It just means CIC got your biometrics.

I know that but I have not seen many people getting these kinds of mail here. That's why I was curious..

Same situation here. I was refused previously abd didn't get this mail on the first time. But now I've applied again and got this mail after a month.

I mean to say the first time i applied i didnt get this letter but rather a refusal. This is my second application and i havent gotten an approval letter or rejection letter but this was the content of the letter which i got today

My wife got this latter after 5 weeks of waiting for temporary visa, the second day after receiving this letter, she got rejected . I do not think it has to do anything with acceptance.

You were right same happened with me. Rejected

Same situation here. I was refused previously abd didn't get this mail on the first time. But now I've applied again and got this mail after a month.

If you hold a passport of one of 29 specific countries + if you had previously applied before July 31, 2018.... then you are required to give your biometrics again even if the previous biometrics were valid. In your case, your previous biometrics were not valid. The letter confirms the validity of your new biometrics

I know someone who got visa approval after receiving this letter and even know someone who got refusal after receiving this biometric letter. So this letter doesn't confirm visa approval or rejection but gives an idea that you will get decision with next 1-2 days and only then you will be able to know the final visa decision.

BTW, I hope your one was positive result.
