Keep us posted on the decision. That's great news and happy that things are moving ålong. @rohtak from what I understand, its a document that says that your biometrics are valid and accepted. Its one of the final stages in the process.
If anyone in India get the ICT visa approval, will the person has some options to get stamping done as VAC (VFC) offices are showing temporary closed for Canadian visa processing in India.
Is it the reason for delaying the approvals.
Does anybody received the approval on ICT visa except one person who got the approval as the paper based application was submitted and as passport was upfront submitted, the person reported in this group that visa is approved and passport received..
Look at all options available for you, including the ones in neighboring states. I am near Philadelphia , and last week i did Biometric from New York Bronx ASC. Check in the mornings, you will see slots for same day afternoon.
It is good news to receive the correspondence letter. May I ask if this ICT is with LMIA or LMIA exempt? And would you share what type of work industry category are you in? thank you!

I received an update from the employer's lawyers today.
Background: Closed WP application (LMIA Exempt) filed on 10 March 2020 as an ICT under GSS. I already had valid biometrics and submitted pre-medical results as part of filing for the WP. Since then there had been no update.
Today the lawyers told me that "Please note that your application is filed under the Global Skills Strategy (“GSS”) office in Canada, which is an office that expedites cases for high skilled foreign workers. GSS has started processing cases effective July 1 but are currently only processing cases where biometrics have been provided. They are currently backlogged to cases submitted in March. GSS has made a soft commitment to process cases up to those submitted in May within the next five weeks.
Please note that the above timelines are estimates and Immigration Canada is under no obligation to adhere to these timelines. Certain factors outside of our control (e.g. security background checks) may result in additional delays over and above the current COVID-related processing delays."
I also came to know that my biometrics corresponding letter was added to my profile dated 9 July.

So I guess there should be positive news in August for GSS folks. (fingers crossed)
