Anyone know that after getting pre arrival letter , how long it will take for decision made.
my Aor was October 2018 and file received in august 2018.
I'm AR Aug 13 and AOR Sep 10 and I think it should be done by the end of the summer.

Some AOR Aug 2018 already got PPR in the past few days.

Only Jan and Feb are the unlucky ones it seems.

I never received biometrics request or pre arrival letter. Idk why.
Called Cic and agent told that security is passed but background is in progress. I got confused and she said that security is part of the background check. Apparently there are other things included.

I had to give my biometric data in December 2018 and I thought it might speed things up as for background/security. well, it didn't

cic didn't ask me regarding biometric, what is actually biometric?
Biometrics allow visa officers to screen applicants for prior criminal convictions or Canadian immigration infractions. A traveller's biometrics are also used when they enter Canada to confirm his or her identity.

Examples include, but are not limited to fingerprint.
