hi everyone!

we applied on Dec 29th and only received the AOR on Jan 24th, nothing since then.. is that normal? seems like it's taking way longer than the average

Submitted 29th Dec
AOR 17th Jan

However, got a strange request, asking for payment for Biometrics. No instructions to do the biometrics. GCkey already shows biometrics valid for another 10 years which was done for TRV last year. Not sure why IRCC requires new biometrics fee and need to do biometrics again.

When you guys got BIL did you get a letter to for payment first and then the biometrics instructions or was it together?

My biometrics, medical and eligibility completed and BG in progress on tracker
On GCKEY eligibility still in progress BG - we are processing your BG check

What are the next steps and how long for next steps to be completed and is is possible for both of the systems that is tracker and gckey to show different status ?

your answers are much helpful

I guess, the next step is waiting, till IRCC has finished your BG. This could take a bit longer then the rest but that's all not 100% sure.
Yes, tracker and GCkey account can show various stages of the process.

All the best for you!

Did you get Biometrics fee request and instructions to do biometrics together in one email? or was it fee first then the instructions?

No, not even in the same account but at the same day.

(1) Biometrics request letter came as a message to my GCKey account.
In the letter was a notice, that the fees were already paid.

(2) Payment request of biometric fees was in the timeline of the App tracker.
I had decided, that this was not relevant to me, because of (1).

Guys I have two questions-

1. Is Immitracker trustworthy?
   
   
2. Can anyone point me to a source that shows how long it takes to get approval if the principal applicant is in India?

1. yes if you trust people’s input, it’s purely a platform for everyone to share their progress freely, no one is there to validate any of those input data
