Well, something positive to cheer about (after waiting to give biometric since March 2020). I have one question, does this mean that the exemption would apply to folks who had previously provided their biometrics for work permit (I did for work permit in 2018). Below is an excerpt from today's notice

"previously provided their biometrics within the 10-year period before the day on which they made the current permanent residence application"

Thanks,
AA
I had given biometrics for wp application in 2019.
Will that be valid for my PR application.

It will be attached automatically. You do not have to inform them. Mine appeared once I passed medical. What is your AOR date

Do you think IRCC will refund the biometrica fee to us that dont require biometrics anymore?

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. o_O
Well, thats not how it works. It's not an image file they can share just like that, there's too much complexity involved (technologically) which makes it near impossible.

Think my old biometrics has now been linked to my new PR application? On my PR application Under biometrics it still says “we are waiting for your biometrics please check your messages” but at the bottom is says biometrics number: ABC123 etc
Day of bio enrolment: 11th Feb (date I gave them for my previous PGWP visa) anyone else noticed this? Can’t remember if it was blank before and this is now them linking the old bios with my new application or if it was always there (doubt it)

Hi Guys,

Do you think that they have started security and criminal check before?
I mean, after new rules regarding biometric exemptions, will they start from scratch?
