Hi ,

I have received my the biometric instruction letter yesterday , according to which i need to go to visa application center and give my biometric details.

As i have applied for the PR as primary applicant , my wife being the dependent applicant , does she need to give her biometrics too?

Nothing is mentioned in the letter regarding this , hence the query.

No, i have received only i letter which has been addressed to me , i havent received anything addressed to my wife. Hence the confusion. So will both of us be able to give our biometrics based on this letter ?

Both will be required to complete biometrics. What’s your AOR if you don’t mind?

I have different problem. My wife is not accompanying me. Does she need to provide biometric? They have taken only 85$ and letter mentioned only my name.
She doesn’t need to do biometrics

I had a similar issue. My spouse is primary applicant and a BIL was issue for PA.
Our account got updated about a week letter with a biometrics request letter for me (accompanying spouse) as well as a new letter for my spouse

Hi,

I have a different issue ,
Hi,

I recived a PNP nomination from province alberta and recived ITA as well. I already included my spose in the PNP and PR application and recived AOR (Acknowledgement of receipt) May 2022.

After receiving the AOR i had to make my spouse as Non-accompany to canada with me due to some personal matters. And i raised a webform 1 month after the AOR (June 2022) by mentioning my spouse will not accompanying with me and waited for the (BIL) biometrics invitation letter. But i received biometrics request today (26th July 2022) for both of us.

What should i do now? Please advice
