based on your reply, I assumed that you started the whole PR application in Canada.
Since you applied before Dec 3rd, 2019 and you are inland applicants, you DONT need to give biometrics as per
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...updates/2019-biometric-exemption-removed.html
However, since there is currently no biometric service delivery network within Canada, these applicants are exempt from the biometrics requirement until such time as the public policy is lifted.
...
Starting December 3, 2019, foreign nationals applying from within Canada to extend or renew their visitor visa, work permit or study permit or applying for temporary or permanent residence must provide biometrics.
Moreover, you already got PAL which means they started processing your application.
For us (most of the applicants in this thread) who applied after Dec 3, 2019 will need to give biometrics. And the government won't continue processing until we give the biometrics.
I guess you only need to await a little bit more for now. Good luck!
