that's sound wired.

Biomatirc is valid for 10 years.


its looks like you did not specify, that you already did Biomatirc previously.

i would still suggest better call CIC or VFS global for this issue.
thats my understanding too.
no i didnt specify it, actually didnt know where to specify this in the application.

let me try reaching out to CIC customer service

@balu0427 yes but depends on CIC officers may wave it. However they require you to redo biometric. Its a lawful order based on the website:
If you apply for permanent residence
You need to give biometrics.

If you’re between 14 and 79 years old, you need to give your fingerprints and photo for all permanent resident applications, even if you already gave us your biometrics and they’re still valid.

Question for the experts + others who have had similar experience:
Is it ok to apply for a visitor visa for my dad who's PGP application is being processed (2019; S.A done and in process at London VO)? His previous visa is due to expire this summer so we were going to apply online for a new one (so that he can visit us in the summer). Will be applying online from Pakistan.

Any tips on what to include in the application to ensure there are no issues with both applications in tandem?

Thanks!!
I have a similar situation. My mother is here with me and her visa expires in June. Her PGP application is in process at CPC-Mississauga (SA not done yet). I'm not sure but I think applying for a visa should not be a problem. Though I need to apply for an extension.

At least cic allows us to reuse IEM which can be asked to redo even had one if cic works too strictly and is more helpful than biometric.

Hello!
Some updates for tracker and questions:
Received request for PCCs, CVs,, Travel form IMM 5562, and Biometrics Jan. 31
Biometrics done Feb 7, Additional docs submitted Feb 19
Medicals done Feb 21, update on myCIC on Feb 24 "You have passed the medical exam" :)

Questions for the experts:
Does the "medical exam passed" statement apply to both PA and dependent wife, done on same day?
The biometrics enrollment date is being shown as Feb 7 for both PA and dep, but myCIC also still says "we have not received your fingerprints". Is this normal?

Thanks!

My in-laws file was transferred to Nairobi, now parents in Canada and the address is changed...we did contact IRCC in canada and they said the file is in Nairobi and they can't give any response about the file...who to call or email for file transfer...

any advice from experts ???? @jayeshaminnew @YULIA-2016 @robertp
It will continue to be processed in Nairobi. When you receive PPR you can ask to send it to Canada. Lots of parents who were in Canada and their applications got sent abroad to be processed.
