I dont think so when called IRCC yesterday the agent specially mentioned to me that we arent exempting PR applicants from requesting BIL,any process related to it will be pending until Service canada gets into access for fingerprints.Meanwhile the rest of the application process will be continued..Hope cic will cancel biometric
well he was just an agent, he is not suppose to disclose any upcoming actions until they are posted on cic website anyways! hoping they will exempt atleast inland applicants soon;I dont think so when called IRCC yesterday the agent specially mentioned to me that we arent exempting PR applicants from requesting BIL,any process related to it will be pending until Service canada gets into access for fingerprints.Meanwhile the rest of the application process will be continued..
They are just csr reps working for the govt of Canada so they don’t really have much infoagents generally are unprepared and have no sense in what they are telling atleast with my experience. I have seen conflicting responses where in my GCMS notes something was mentioned as cleared and agent told me its yet to start. So their words cannot be trusted at all.
Yea I’m patiently waiting as well everything on hold because of thisWhether they waive it or open Service canada, it will be not so soon for sure. I was planing to apply for college but without PR it is not possible. It seems I ll miss my chance for September. They are stealing our time and life. This is so frustrating.
If they don’t have information that what are they doing there just making fool of us. Hope IRCC officials looking at our case files know what they are doingThey are just csr reps working for the govt of Canada so they don’t really have much info

I'm getting very frustrated also. I was organised and applied with plenty of time to have everything sorted so I didn't need to submit a BOWP application too but I've now had to. No movement on that either despite biometrics being exempt. I only have a few weeks left on my current work permit and it is very stressful. I accept that because it is a global pandemic afterall, but throughout all this there is no update to the biometrics issue.For years and years, there was no requirement to give biometrics for inland PR applicants. It just started last December - and had to be shut down in 3 months because of service disruptions. Then? No explanation whatsoever for 5 months. Just a few tweets saying "wait."
5 MONTHS! Not a single word, only "until further notice" crap. Do they realize many people have life-changing plans depending on these applications? Or do they believe since we are already in Canada, it is no problem for us to wait for months without any info? Work plans, study plans, family plans. Everything is on pause. Why? There is no even an answer to that.
All of us already gave our biometrics for previous permits. They have it all. We are probably the most suitable group for an exemption, yet, we are the ones who have to wait without any explanation. It is driving me nuts, seriously.
Bars, clubs, buses full of people next to each other, train rides, people working in a room all together. All done, all good. Striptease clubs are open for Pete's sake. Pressing our damn fingers to a device and taking our photos? Nope. Virus. Pandemic. Wait. "Until further notice."
Enough is enough, really.
