Hello Heshan, my AOR is November 17th. I never submitted any biometrics upfront with the application because it wasn't listed as required when I was uploading my documents. Now I'm worried.

Or do we have to wait until they request us for biometrics?

I was requested to provide biometrics. My AOR is July 31st. It was about after two months from my AOR date they requested me to provide biometrics. First they sent a letter and I had to make a payment by following a link. Thereafter they send the instruction letter.

I am not sure about this...I was not requested to do bio-metrics as my AOR is July 24th...May be someone else in this thread can help you out...Are you applying alone or with an agent?

Im applying alone. I did go see a couple of lawyers about the procedures and they didn't mention about the biometrics though.
Thanks Heshan, Im going to keep my eye out for other post july 31st applications to see what they have done.

You mean PR applications?
If so, it's not like that. The Visa Office (VO) is different from one case to another.

yes I am referring to PR applications. When I called CIC they said my file is in CPC Ottawa. Security check is yet to be done it seems. Do u have an idea as to how long it takes for a security check and what is being checked under security?
