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?

Hey guys, I applied Dec 02.
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!
