The simple fact that you passed eligibility should be a good reason for celebration. It's probably the biggest hurdle, and you cleared it. Congrats.
Don't stress about when they'll start working on background check, although there is a chance they might have already started it.
You're still way ahead of the 6 months mark which is June 1st! Just sit back, relax. Everything is fine with your case.
Hmmm... :):) thnks for replying

Try Skype. I heard it was free from within India. If it doesn't go through, see if you can get either skype credit, or a skype plan for unlimited calls to US and Canada, and you can stay in queue lines as much as you want . ;)
If your wife is the main applicant, she's the one who will have to call and inquire about the case. Agent will be adamant in not giving you anything, in accordance with privacy laws.
She'll need various identifying elements for security purposes:
-UCI
-Application Number
-Address
-Phone number
-Date/Country/City of birth
-etc...

Also, note that the agent will only be able to give you information if your file is currently being processed from within Canada. If file is in a processing center outside Canada, no can do...
I called them via google hangouts.. it is also free of cost.

I received CPCO-FinalRequest on my email, nothing is updated on my cic profile. I am hoping this Genuine. Although Application number UCI number is correct

The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, permanent residence visa.



If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, you must inform IRCC immediately via the IRCC Web form with details concerning your situation.



STEP 1: UPDATE YOUR APPLICATION



If any of the following conditions apply, you must inform IRCC immediately via the IRCC Web form:



· Marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation;

· Death of the sponsor, the principal applicant or any accompanying family member;

· Birth or adoption of a child, including grandchildren born to dependent children;

· You, the principal applicant, or any of your family members have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence.



STEP 2: DO YOU NEED A PERMANENT RESIDENCE VISA?



· If you hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you need your Permanent Resident Visa and it should be affixed in your passport, even if you already have a valid Canadian temporary resident visa.

You are required to submit the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please ensure that the passport(s) you are submitting is valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.

Please note that you STILL need to submit the passport even if you are a permanent resident of the U.S.A AND hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada.



· If you hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or hold passport(s)/travel document(s) issued by the United States, you DO NOT need a Permanent Resident Visa to be affixed in your passport. Please do not send your original passport(s). You are required to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please ensure that your passport(s) for which you will submit a photocopy is valid for at least 6 months.







***Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent residence visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must submit a regular passport.***







STEP 3: PREPARE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS



1. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.



2. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. See our specifications at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf



3. One pre-paid return envelope for the return of your passport(s) and Confirmation of Permanent Residence documents: DO NOT SELECT “Schedule a pickup”; DO NOT put IRCC Phone Number or email address



a. If your documents are being returned to a Canadian mailing address, please submit a Pre-paid Xpresspost envelope from Canada Post or a pre-paid return envelope from any other courier service.



b. If your documents are being returned to a mailing address in the U.S.A, please submit a self-addressed shipping label along with its commercial invoice and a returning envelope from FedEx, UPS or Purolator.



IRCC Web form for instructions to submit your documents to the visa office that serves the country where you are.



Please note that our office will not return passports to an address outside North America.



· If you have a mailing address in Canada, please submit by mail in a single package all required documents {including Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s)}, to the following address:

CPCO – PR VISA

Passports Submission

PO Box 9780

Ottawa ON

K1G 6T2



DO NOT FILL OUT THE ADDRESS SECTION ON YOUR CANADA POST RETURN ENVELOPE.



· If you have a mailing address in the U.S.A., please submit by courier in a single package all required documents {including Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s)}, to the following address:

CPCO – PR VISA

US Permanent /Temporary Residence VISA/Passports

365 Laurier Av. West

Hey guys,

Received this message in my profile today;

Dear XXXXXXXX,
This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
Although fees were paid related to biometrics collection, the following individual(s) is/are not required to complete biometrics assessment for this application at this time:
1) Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX Date of Birth: XXXXXXXX
2) Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX Date of Birth: XXXXXXXX
As a result, a refund in the amount of $85.00 has been initiated. If you paid by credit card, it will be credited back to your credit card account. Otherwise, a cheque will be mailed to you at the address indicated above in approximately six weeks to eight weeks.

I am a CEC inland applicant. My wife resides in India. I got married post AOR (AOR:Dec 21) and had notified IRCC about the change in marital status. They asked me to submit a kit including forms , evidence, etc. and paid the fees.

Question: Why is it that my spouse being a resident of India does not require biometrics?

Thoughts?

For India citizens, biometrics requirements started only on December 31st. Children 14 years old and younger are also exempted from biometrics.
