This is such good news for many of you guys. Congrats to all! Does it make sense to amend the google doc tracker now?
It would be so good if IRCC would go one step further and allow those who still need to give biometrics to do so via the RCMP pcc. In any case, most inlanders are asked to provide an RCMP fingerprint-based pcc. I cannot understand why they can't simply ask RCMP to share these electronic fingerprints with whichever department runs the biometric check at IRCC. It's not like people's fingerprints change based on who does the check. Plus, all RCMPs are open and they can distribute caseloads in a covid-friendly manner instead of sending everyone to SC. It would be so easy for them to get rid of the backlog this way. But no, of course not, I am sure they will wait another 6 months before they come up with this exemption too.
