Not mandatory

You and your family can get free in-person and online services to help prepare for and adjust to life in Canada. We call these pre-arrival services.

Pre-arrival services can help you to:

• prepare for your move to Canada
• get your education, work experience and credentials recognized in Canada
• connect with employers to find a job
• connect with free services after you arrive in Canada

2019 PR admission number was already way over their avg regular number, below is for ON, no of people came under PGP. This might be one of the reason they slowed down the PPR at the end of the year.

Does anyone know, How long it takes to update bio-metric information as received after providing biometric? We provided biometric for my parent almost 10 days ago. Yet it is saying -" we need your biometric to process your application". Though updated biometric information is showing in the CIC account.

@robertp
seen this on ECAS of sponsor, status is still in Progress from Sponsor.

We started processing your application on January 8, 2020.

It happens instantaneously, like in real time. You do the biometric and it shows up a few seconds later in myCIC. This was our experience (New Delhi). But some users and mentioned 2-3 days. So perhaps it is dependent on location?

Where did you do it?

 

[SoontobeCanadian123]

Good news, finally from London UK.
My PA status changed today from AR to IP.
We started processing your application on January 9, 2020

People whole file in UK office check your ecas

@YULIA-2016 @robertp

 

[RAY2112]

Yay, Just checked the eCas, and the status changed from application received to in process (in process since January the 8th).

I dont think you need to inform IRCC to the best of my knowledge. when your application reaches to the final approval, they issue a visa so that the applicant can enter to Canada. The visa is a document and if you send your passport with the passport request letter, any visa office can stamp the visa on the passport. In this case, if you send your parents' passport to the Ottawa office with the PP request letter, they should be able to stamp the visas. Not here to confuse you but this is what I feel from my previous experience with other types of visa applications.

Did biometric from Canada. It showed in the account but in ecas status it is showing "you need to complete your biometric to process your application"

Forget ecas (for this); it often lags behind.
