Hello Guys,
My brother first application got rejected after 23 days and 2 weeks after biometric done. we now applied for the second time by addressing the agent concerns. Do you know what is the average time if agent want to reject them again? will be shorter than first time?

You just have to wait and see. The letter is part of the process and it doesn’t mean good or bad news. The decision will follow soon as others have pointed out. Be on the look out and update on the decision. All the best!
Will someone get the biometrics validation letter when they apply again without giving the fingerprints in the second or third time?

I doubt they will send the letter again during subsequent application.
So, they will send the decision to me directly without telling me anything? I heard that if they just tell me to go and collect my passport from the VFS’ office, it means that I’m approved because I have applied by paper in VFS and last time they sent me a letter with reasons that they refused me due to

Yes in my case I received biometric validity letter second time as well and decision after 24 hours
Are you sure you didn’t give your biometrics in the second time?


*I really want to know why they take all this time (from 10 to 40 days) to start reviewing an application?! Because they don’t even look at it until they send the biometrics letter.
One of my friends had applied and done everything three hours before me and got his biometrics letter and the rejection 2 weeks ago (after 3 days from applying) while I’m still waiting!

I got the biometrics validation letter today please tell me it is positive or negative sign.
Before 1 month i got the same letter and then got refusal but that was my mistake i didn't attached the proper documents but i am nervous this time.
Please anyone's tell me what is going to heppen next?
when we received the correspondence letter for biometrics, we also received the decision after 24 hrs. You just need to wait for the result. we received positive result after the correspondence. Mom's flight on sunday :D

Yes no need to give bio again within 10 years (because bio is valid for 10 years) and they always ask the question when you submitting the application (mine was online)

What I understand now is that the Canadian office will only start to open and see our documents when we receive the biometrics letter? Or they open our file and check the documents first before sending the biometrics letter?

No mostly they sent validity letter once decided the application fate (this is what I understand with my application and here as well)

But I and my friend have applied on the same day, yet he has received this letter and gotten rejected after 4 days while I've been waiting for 3 weeks... what does that mean? why some people get their result faster than others?

and some people receive the biometric correspondence letter and get the decision after a few days, so?

it depends on the visa officer too.

I can't imagine that an officer will take a month or so just for reviewing one application! it's not possible because there are more than 200 million applications received from around the world yearly as they said on their website.... unless the officer works on more than one application at the same time.
