Anyone living in Ottawa waiting for biometrics, plz join here

[ALEALB]

Some ppl with May AOR also got called. SC really sucks since it doesn't seem to call based on AOR.
BTW, which area of Ottawa are u in? Downtown, Nepean, Kanata or somewhere else?

Really eh? I’m downtown... but it really shouldn’t matter. It should matter the AOR

One more Ottawarian waiting for biometrics call here!
AOR-July 25th
BIL- September 15th.

I just got a call from Service Canada today and got my biometric appointment.
I actually asked the person who called me what order they're calling the applicants according to, considering that my AOR was July 25, which makes me not having been waiting for the longest.
She said that "We're not necessarily calling people in order. We're trying to make the file load down."
So I guess the call is COMPLETELY RANDOM.

Still, wishing good luck to you guys

Anyone with aor April got called yet??
Some ppl with March, May, June and July have been called but not a single one with April yet.
Seems we are the forgotten ones.

Hi ppl, plz put your info in the google sheet tracker and update it when you have progress, if you haven't done so: www.shorturl.at/hmpwG
This will really help others to get a bird's eye view of how SC is progressing

I totally understand, I was getting more and more desperate everyday, but surprise just came so quick. There are 2 SC offices in Ottawa doing bio, so things are actually going faster than I expected. And I think Ottawa is following AOR rules in general, last week some ppl with aor early-mid March were called, and this week ppl with late March and early April. Given current trend, you should expect a call soon, perhaps sometimes during next week or at the beginning of the week after next. You are almost there.

Got a call around 5 pm.
AOR - 29th May 2020
Appointment - 15th October 2020
Based in Ottawa

Hey everyone!

AOR - 29th April 2020
BIL - 20th October 2020 (I submitted my Police Certificate on the 15th of October - took a long time because of COVID-19)

Does anyone have any idea if this will impact when I should gauge receiving a call? Or are they scheduling appointments based on AOR mainly after you get the BIL?
I was based in the GTA at the time of AOR. I have moved to Ottawa recently.

I've also recently had my photograph and fingerprints taken at a Commissionaires. Not sure if this will be of any help.

Thanks!
