For people who got their BioMetrics done while applying for their Super Visa, I think they are not being asked for BioMetrics.

In my case, my parents never got the BioMetrics done when they applied for Super Visa 3 years ago, so they now asked for BioMetrics to be done.

Yes that is the case. If anyone here in Supervisa did bio before and still get the bio request, they should ask CIC for exemption.

what about visitor visa? my mom did bio 2 years ago for a visitor visa and it is listed in mycic.

I'm worried now, my application has been received by CIC on May 20, but still haven't see any update since then.

so frustrated...no update since June 12th....

Did you call IRCC at all, Hallie? Try to give them a call, ask questions like if there's any docs request or any flag on the case. Most likely you have nothing to worry about. But hopefully the agent can confirm that nothing's wrong at the moment, and secondly, tell you what's going on. I don't see tracker right now so I don't remember when your application was received. But seeing people from May 7th have been getting DM, I would just call.

@DarKnight and @bdidol ,
There's someone in tracker whose parents never did a bio before they came to Canada. He/she got a refund for the bio fees. So nobody is sure on what's happening with bio requests.

Call IRCC if you are worried. We can only tell you to have patience. IRCC is the one can tell you more on what's happening with your file.
Good luck.

... Do you know which user? CO might made a mistake...but it is consistent across the board for all..if parents under super visa with bio living here, they got exempted.

Not sure who it was but hopefully all members after reading this post might be able to reply if they were in a similar situation (got refund on their bio even if they havn't done bio before for their parents).
