"Original Passport Request" received without AIP or Biometrics Submission

[forestalt]

A friend of mine just got an "Original Passport Request".

The strange thing is... that he hasn't even received his AIP yet.

He hasn't even given biometrics yet because VACs are closed in my country right now.

What is going on?

Isn’t that a full approval?

Isnt biometrics an essential part for a full approval??

Yes I think. That's why I found this surprising.

Maybe they accidentally sent this instead of AIP? I can't understand what's going on lol

I saw many other cases like this. Can they access our biometric details from our passport? Since during passport we already would have given biometrics.

My guess is that they might have collected biometrics from other sources such as if a person has ever crossed US-Canada border, etc. Or they might take your biometrics at Canadian Post of Entry.

He has never even been out of the country. Neither did he ever apply for any kind of a visa or study permit before.

Then it looks like they will take our biometrics at Canadian Post of Entry. Also, I wanted to say the processing time for your friend's visa was really fast. Your friend applied on June 23rd and got final approval on August 31st. Lucky person!
