Received Biometrics letter today after a 5.5 month wait since receiving AOR , but no SA and no medical yet . Is this normal ? Also does anyone know where to get the biometrics done in New Delhi India ? We are getting appointment for end of October but the letter says we need to do it within 30 days
There are biometrics backlogs in some countries, esp India. Book it and advise IRCC that was first available date, you can include the reservation info.

As one of the same merry band of transferees: hopefully Manila is moving things along quickly!

NY, moved to Manilla checking in. I also just got my pre-arrival letter!

I wish the google spreadsheet had a column for the pre-arrival letter so we could see the general timelines between receiving that letter and "decision made"

you don't have to do anything like that. As mentioned in the letter, you can start looking into services available for new comers if you wish. There is no mandatory requirement.
