Curious - I got biometrics request and subsequently medical request. But the status on my "sponsor's eligibility" is still "in process". Sounds odd for them to request medical if Sponsor's eligibility check has not been determined in the first place. Anyone else got into this situation before?

Hello guys,

I am little curious regarding biometrics. I need your suggestions.

My parents are here on visit visa. I have applied for there extension.
When i got the file number I also updated there residential address to canadian one.
What are the chance of getting biometrics?
Can i get biometrics done in canada or can i get them waived if they request one?

So far i have received AOR .
What happens after AOR?

What are my options?
We really need them here for now as I have a new born.

Please help.
You will get the bio. You cannot do it Canada and cannot ask for waiver. There are some rumors going around that they are opening centers end of this yr. If that happened and given you are only AoR stage...you might do it in here.

if not you have to do it in US.

I can understand your situation. As you have time now, isn’t it possible for you to apply fo a US visa For them meanwhile?

Chances of waiving, I can not say much.
Its really 50-50 situation.

But getting a US visa would be a good option. And whats your application receive date? May be if its gonna take a while for you to receive bio request, probably by then they open bio collection centres in Canada but no one is sure about it.
They were saying that they will be opening some in Canada in 2019, and now on twitter they said they have plans to do it by the end of 2019, but you never know if they will really commit to that period. So i would suggest if you can get a US visa for them, get that so you will be more safe.

“Hi. We are aiming to have biometrics collection service in place by the end of 2019. More information will be available on our website at a later date so keep checking for updates.”

I am May 10th, and still waiting for bio.
But a lot of people up to May 26-28 have already got it.
So for you, if everything remains like this, might come in 2-4 weeks, but Can’t say anything for sure.
Exemtion is really hard as mentioned by @bdidol
But you can try to get some extra time by requesting them.

Has anyone got Background Check in myCIC changed to We are processing your background check recently, especially after submitting additional documents asked by IRCC?
Once Background Check changes to 'We are processing your background check', how long does it generally take to complete this stage?
