Hellooo,

Good news for FSW from india.

Canadian gov has stated that soon they are going to resume biometric services in India for PR and other catagories.
Though the priority will remain for students, still it's a good news.

Checkout the link below for exact wordings.

Yes, fingers crossed

I'll call them in a few days too! My AOR is 4th Nov. MEP was 14th Dec & biometrics was 5th Jan. This pace seems really promising.

Ok so an update. I got RPRF request. Furthermore, I think my BG check status has also changed in the portal. It now says "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check ". Earlier it used to be something like "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information"

Does this mean I have passed eligibility?

Just spoke to an IRCC agent:

Criminality: passed
Eligibility: Not Started
Security: Not Started

AOR 6th Nov
Biometrics Given Last Year

Which number did you call??

 

[sgoldsmith]

Since my AOR is Nov 6, I was hoping that either Eligibility or Criminality would be passed by now

We are all eager to see progress in such an important project, but we should not forget that in its 2019 report, IRCC acknowledged that it took them in average 8 months to finalize 80% of all applications (60% of applications finalized in the 12-month period ending on December 31, 2019, were completed within the six-month service standard). That was before COVID-19.

So, to avoid unnecessary frustration, stress, etc., I guess we would be wise to stick with that 8 months time frame and forget about "progress bar" and the "16 weeks remaining" that was displayed before it disappeared.

This is fantastic. You should call to confirm. However, this is certainly IP2.

This is fee that you can pay either at the time of submission or afterwards when they request you to pay it.

How to see if I had a ghost update? Do you receive an email or any time stamp you're referring in the application ?

Thank you for the info.

I submitted my biometrics on Dec 31st but it still shows that action required on my file. did this happen with your application as well when you submitted your biometrics? i am just concerned if its normal pattern or just me. Thanks

I guess ghost update is when they update your application without sending you any email or notification

Hi. what exactly is RPRF request? Is the fees we pay while submitting application?

You have to pay two main fees for the application. Ones the processing fee ($800), and the other is Right of Permanent Residence Fee ($500). This can be paid at the start of the application, or it can be paid at a later stage when IRCC requests you to pay it. Generally they request you to pay the RPRF only once they've cleared your eligibility. Or at least that's what i'm hoping.
