have you completed your biometric before in Canada or was this your first time? I am trying to understand why they haven't reached out to me yet. I gave my biometric in 2019 and it is valid till 2029, so maybe they are not reaching out because of that. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you!
Yes I completed biometrics before coming here, still we need to give new one.
Did you paid biometrics fee?
if you paid then you need to give biometrics and inform them through we form that you paid your fees and you didn’t hear anything back till now.

Do you have any updates?
Did you contact IRCC?
Hello,

Any august applicants? I recieved my AOR in October along with a request to pay for biometrics, however, they haven't reached out to me to get my biometrics done.

I haven't had any updates since October and I am a little concerned as typically everyone receives a request to complete their biometrics within 2 months after applying under RNIP. If someone can let me know if this is something I need to worry about?

Moreover, I reached out to IRCC quite a few time to ensure that no documents are missing or if they are waiting on something but they told me they have everything that they need from me.

Thank you!
