Have you received BIL yet? I'm AOR 23 Aug.

Nothing so far...my AOR was on 21st August,recently called IRCC and was informed that criminality check was going on

We had this issue with biometrics for OWP. We called IRCC and were told it was normal. My husband (PA) also submitted a web form about it. After my husband (PA) gave biometrics for his PR application, the biometrics status for each was updated to completed on GCKey, and we got a response to the web form he had submitted prior. I'm not sure if that was a coincidence or if he just needed to give his biometrics again.

My wife’s last biometric was fine from January for TRV. This one was not good as per the agent. I booked another appointment and will try again. Cant wait for IRCC

Nothing new. Just did Biometrics on Friday and its not marked as completed yet. And the OWP does not show up in the tracker. Let me know if your Biometrics was updated to completed immediately as they told us the quality of the fingerprints were not that great. She just had biometrics given earlier this year now it’s a new story and stress. Might have to redo my wife’s biometric

How and where do you see those marks? I сant see them on the IRCC website.

The agent who captured the fingerprint told the prints are not the best of the quality and he will submit as is and let the IRRC officer decide

What does your tracker say? My Biometrics is 'in progress' but idk what that means because I haven't received BIL. Does that mean its gonna come soon or something. This is weird because August AORs have received their BILs already (in Sep)!
