No, they didn't. I've done biometric for getting visa and it's valid for 10 years. Due to the Covid it's not required to take the biometric if you have done it before and it is still valid.
For all, who is waiting for their Endorsement approval.
I know that waiting can be tough as your future plan gets delayed, but just hang on and it should come for sure.
*From Nova Scotia Immigration Officer* “We had significant uptake in the program and we are poised to reach our allocation. As we work through the last of the numbers we are hopeful that we can approve your applications, however at this point in time I cannot guarantee this. If we cannot process them now, we will be able to do this in January 2020.”
Any Inland PR approval lately? We're still waiting. January 2020 submitted, Biometrics and Medical already done last May 2020. Final decision should be out by July 2020 but until now, still waiting for any updates.
I've done my upfront medical on October 2019
Send PR package to Sydney office around mid of Jun/July 2020
Got Biometric request on Dec 20.
Do I have to do Medical again ? ( It was within 1 year when I sent the package )
