I hve a Question. If my parents provided 5 years ago biometrics for super visa, is there a chance that they do not have to do them again?

Having just done biometrics for a new Super Visa application in May 2023, the associated paperwork does say that biometrics issued for temporary residency can be used for future temporary resident applications whilst they are in date, however they are not accepted for permanent resident applications (which is what Parent & Grandparent Sponsorship is for). So, check your initial paperwork from those original biometrics, but I would guess they will have to get new ones done when requested as part of the family sponsorship process. ... hope this helps. And always remember, never ask why .... there is no common sense logic... we just do what we're asked and hopefully all is approved as soon as possible! Good luck!!

As far as I know, biometric remains valid for 10 years, My parents have Supervisa and their first visit visa got rejected. They did biometric when they applied for visit visa. and later on, during the the time of super visa application, they did not have to do biometric, cause that was automatically showed up in application.

Hello, is it normal to see UCI number got changed? my Parents have supervisa and I have applied for PGP program after getting the invitation. Now the letter that I have got from IRCC, I am seeing the UCI number is different. Is that normal? As far as I know, the UCI number remains identical.

It seems that there is some kind of issues with vfs system. We were able to create an online account and book an appointment for the next week.

One question question though. should not we get SA/AoR first and then biometric request? Could it be possible, they missed to send SA/AoR. It happened to a friend of mine (in 2009) that they missed to send AoR and he had to do a lot of calls to get AoR after medical was done. Not sure if IRCC still has the same inefficient system in place after 14-15 years.

An update: my in laws gave their biometric today and we can see that it is received already. Now we should be getting SA and AoR, I guess.

Would it be wise to apply for pcc now? Normally how long it takes IRCC to ask pcc/medical after SA/AoR?

Hello,
I received PCC today for my parents at Canadian address,
I don't have option anymore to upload in IRCC account because I uploaded BLS receipts last month as proof that we are in the process of getting PCC.
so how do I send this through email or Web form???
Which could be the best option so that they receive it faster and get updated in the account in no time thanks,

Hello, i see in the excel sheet that people are entering dates for “decision made as per Ecas”. I am trying to search for the application in the Ecas and it says not found. I have AOR for my application and was able to link it. Can someone clarify?

You can send it via email but keep in mind that you won't get any acknowledgement with the email.
I would do both.

IRCC changes its rules for biometric https://www.cicnews.com/2023/06/all-permanent-residence-applicants-must-now-submit-biometrics-0635605.html. Seems like the 10 year validity was only during pandemic and as of June 14th they are returning to pre pandemic rule for biometric. Hope all of us are not part of this, otherwise this is going to be extra pain for many of us.
