I applied for TRV after receiving The AOR. Today we were asked for biometric fee to be paid in 5 days. But I had said on our Trv application that my spouse did biometric for a previous TRV only 9 months (supposed to be valid for 10 years)

Is there anywhere we can call or explain the situation to bypass this, or we have no choice?

All PR applicants have to provide biometrics, even if provided before.

hey thanks

So Can I apply for outland common-law sponsorship since my status in Canada is expiring soon?

And we have completed the threshold of 1 year common law union
You need to withdraw the inland application before you apply outland. The outland application does not give you status in Canada so if you plan to remain in Canada for any period of time after your status expires, you will need to apply for a visitor record.

Thanks. If we are still waiting for spousal BIL/MIL and we do the TRV BIL/MIL, do we have to do each twice? I ask because the closest city to a VAC for my wife is 3 hours away.
I presume that you would need to if you do them for the TRV but can't say for sure. Therefore I'd suggest waiting until you get the BIL at least for the PR. I'm much more confident that the biometrics taken for PR will serve for the TRV.

To be clear, I think the medicals would be acceptable for both either way.

Ah ok. Unfortunately I already submitted the application for TRV and they already sent me a notice for BIL that I have to pay within 5 days and show receipt
