Hi everyone our parents ecase status went from received to in process since sep 19 . But no decision made for sponsor yet. I see people getting it very next day after getting in process and biometrics request same day or soon . My parents are coming to Canada on visitor should i tell them to wait till biometrics or there is another way biometrics can be done while in canada?
Last I check was that permanent residence applicants can't get it done in Canada . That's weird are inconvenient for parents coming to Canada or are in Canada currently.

Yes it is very inconvenient that they don’t have any facilities to do the biometrics in Canada.
They say thats why some eligible PR applicants can get exemption if they are applying within Canada, and they have exempted some parents too as they were here when the initial application was submitted.
But the ones coming later after the application has been already submitted with the back home residential adress, they are not providing any exemption for them, the only few options for them are:
- either wait for the bio request before making plans to Canada
- or if they have USA visa, do it there or in Mexico (without visa but its expensive option)
- or go back to home country again

I am eagerly waiting for bio request for my parents as well, as they also have plans to come.

I asked IRCC on twitter about any plans of opening bio collection centres in Canada in the nearest future, as there was an announcement early this year that they will be opening these centres in 2019.
Its almost end of 2019, I don’t know if they will really be opening them in this year or not.

Can you provide me a link where I can check? I think it ll take more than a month to get the document, so I think it is safe to get it beforehand, I wasnt sure if it was possible. City is Chandigarh.

My city is also Chandigarh, though mine is 5th June appl, so will take sometime for document requests.

phew..

So, were you able to submit the documents online? I can submit my parents - 10th grade or university certificates as they don't have any birth certificate/late birth registration proof.

Do we have to attach any explanation letter or affidavit if the birth certificates are not available? Trying to get ready for the next steps.

The documents have to be emailed (email ID is provided in the letter. OR one can mail the documents as well but it will result in slower processing.

A simple self signed letter mentioning that no Birth Certificates are available and10th grade / Univ certificates are being provided should suffice. Depending on school / Univ you may have to translate the certificates but I believe most schools /Univ certificates from that era were bilingual / in english anyways.

Parents are here in Canada from almost 2 years and I have got the same generic letter. I am curious about the Biometrics Request? Because when I Submitted the file originally I was not required to submit the biometrics fees and never received any request as well as of now.

I am wondering if anyone else is in same situation? And are there still any chances that we will get Biometrics request?
