I applied on June 5th for me and my partner; no update. I have valid biometrics, but my partner does not. So I guess, our applications are connected, and they must be issued together!

I have applied for the PGWP on August 2nd and received the Biometrics letter on 4th August. It says "Your action is required". However, IRCC clearly mentions that the biometrics service is not available at this point of time and you can ignore this letter. Why still it says "your action is required". Do you think its just an automated status friends? Thanks.

That’s automated. Don’t worry you don’t need to give biometrics. The fee will be refunded in the end.

I had same message. It will automatically be changed back to submitted exactly after one month from the date of BIL

Hi
I applied on 28th May for pgwp .. got a biometric request letter but the centres are closed. Will they still process my app
You may know by now that biometrics are cancelled and they will process without it. I applied in May. We just have to wait. It can be daunting but it'll pass.

Yea Thanks for that. But just keep posted about the developments as the IRCC has been increasing the processing times and thats very stressful

I applied for PGWP on 2nd of June with no bio. No update on this one yet, but the study permit application that was approved in 2017 in the same account switched to "application/profile updated" so I don't know if someone has taken a look at my application yet or if this is just a system update.
