GOD is really good! My husband just got a biometric instruction letter today! I hope he can get his biometrics done this week! Goodluck everyone! I'm sure everyone follows this week for their biometrics!
**----January 2019 Outland Application----**

- Start date
What’s your timeline?I hope you are right! I completed biometric on April 8.
I also meant If you were not part of the bulk biometric requests. Last week they sent a lot of biometric fee requests to January applicants and then requests to do the biometric which I wasn’t a part of
I have been receiving requests to pay biometric fees only.
when they send bulk biometric requests I think that’s when they start working on those files.
I also think there are officers who work on applicants from specific countries I mean who are trained about just few specific countries so if you are part of the country who has a lot of applicants for immigrations then it’s gonna be little slow for you. Just for an instance: spreadsheet analysis suggests that the number of applicants from India are the most so our applications are handled by those officers who are trained and experienced about our culture then it’s gonna take us longer because we are a lot in number.
Still waiting for bio after paying the fees . Looks like lots of applicants are waiting for bio , hopefully we all get in a bunch .
Biometric has no effect on making the process faster. Pray for officer who handles your file to be in good and positive mood so he/she just stamps and say “all good, send this person biometric and once you receive the result give them DM.”
Yes got the biometric fee last week of march. Im jan24 applicant. Completed medical & biometric already. file was transferred to cpc-m 3rd week of march. I hope that they will not request for addl documents. Now, Im trying to manage my expectation to avoid frustation.What’s your timeline?

How many photographs did you submit initially with the application?same here I am asked additional marriage Photographs
I submitted 15 hard photos and a few within a document
But issue which i feel is i submitted all on stage with my wife not as a story type and were not labelled properly ....
Yes that makes sense . Well hoping next batch for Biometrics request starts soon ... feel bad cause I should have paid upfront , applicants who have paid upfront have got birometric request ( not paying fees delays process as per Cic as well ) . Let’s hope soooooooooooonWhat’s your timeline?

I had printed 30 and selected 20 off those 30 and captioned them on the back with sharpie and submitted with initial application. In second batch I selected 25-30 again out of more than 2000 and then selected another 20 off it. Since they mentioned max 20 photos i didnt submit more.
Hi! The pre arrival service is more of an acknowledgement to inform that your eligibility is approved but they still need time to finalize background check/other necessary steps. There’s no action required for you, and seems like not everyone is getting this letter these days unless their eligibility is passed much earlier than other steps. So don’t panic if you don’t get this letter from them, it’s all goodHi! This is totally irrelevant to this reply but I am a Feb applicant and saw on the spreadsheet that you are Common Law and you both are in Canada; same situation as us. What did they send you regarding pre arrival? As I won’t be flying to Canada I’d like to know what they ask us to do once the Decision is Made
After the DM there will be a clear instruction on the passport request letter, stating how people from different countries can get a COPR(at this stage, action is required to be done within 30 days, just like your medical request). In my case I’m still residing in Canada, so the CPC-M will be issuing my COPR and landing visa, if it’s not your case it could be your local VO. You probably don’t need a landing visa if you’re from a visa exempt country. Hope this helps!
Congrats , did you pay birometric upfront or they requested you .
Some of the December applicants got decision made right after giving biometric from CPC - M . You might be one of the those . Happy for you
Ya pretty sure that's not how things go as we didn't get a DM today and my husband went for biometrics yesterday... and also I think if you pay for biometrics upfront vs. not doesn't really make a difference. It seems that from here on out it is pretty sporadic who gets what and when! Hoping for the best for everyone !Jerry!! My man! Always my fav theories on this forum
