Pls see this tracker

Hi, thanks for sharing the link to this tracker. How do I add my details to it? I also received a biometric request for my mother and she is in Toronto, Canada.

I'd say we're the unlucky ones whose apps were assigned to CPC-M.

Other processing centres were already working months ago and issuing DM2.

CPM seems to be faster one before covid? Alas.... things just changed so much this year.. so it would be great if anyone from CPC M has any kind of updated. That would be encouraging news.

Just insert your Name, province, AOR date, BIL date (Biometric letter date) on the tracking table accordingly. Comment you can put Family Class. Hope that help.

This question might be silly... if a person has visitor visa (not expired), then he gets PR visa and COPR. Is the visitor visa invalid? can he still use the visitor visa to enter the border if he happens not carrying the COPR with him to land?

you mean to say, he does not submit his passport to Visa application center to get the PRTD stamped.
instead he travels to Canada on visit visa.

Yes, DM2 & Pre letter on August 24,20. Waiting for PPR. June 10 applicant.

Nice. I can keep some hope as June 10 applicant.

Nothing as I didn’t expect any. Just awaiting for service centre to open or awaiting for phone call from service centre to get an appointment for our biometric to be done in Canada.

I hope you get a response soon.

You can follow this tracker on timelines for those who have already received calls and some are still awaiting. Majority of them are inland applicants under the Canadian Experience. For us, considering as Outland applicants, hopefully IRCC is aware we are in Canada awaiting to do our biometric here. Have you inform IRCC through webform that you are in Canada awaiting to do biometric? If no, I advise you to do so. I’m residing in Vancouver, BC.

Thanks so much for your information. I informed IRCC to change their living address to Canada in March.

@robertp @laxsun Could you please update line 748. I don't know which date is decision made for sponsor stage. However, my parents received Bio request on Sept 22. So far, I haven't received any email notifying me that sponsor is approved, but I checked ECAS, and it shows decision made. Also, my parents changed the address to Canada in around April, so they are inland applicants, waiting for Service of Canada's call. This is my situation. Thanks.

TRV gets cancelled.

Just a reminder that you aren’t the unlucky one. The unlucky ones didn’t get to sponsor their parents.

If our parents are approved for PR, are they allowed to do landing considering the COVID-19 situation or do they have to wait?

COPR is issued at landing. So your question is wrong but not silly. Visitor visa was canceled when one time use PR visa was issued. I had similar problem when I became PR. Landed in Canada but had to go back to NYC after one week. Since airlines don't let you fly with COPR, I had to get a visitor visa from Canadian consulate in NYC.

Yes they will be allowed to, but make sure to keep abreast of the latest guideline on travel restrictions: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/immigration-applicants.html#approved

"You are exempt from the current travel restrictions and can come to Canada if you have a valid COPR and:

• the COPR was issued on or before March 18, 2020 OR
• the COPR was issued after March 18th, 2020 and you are an immediate family member sponsored by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (note that grandparents are not considered immediate family members and cannot come to Canada at this time) OR
• you’re currently living in the U.S. and will be coming to Canada directly (transiting through the U.S. to Canada doesn’t apply)

To meet the travel restriction exemptions, you must also:

• be coming to Canada to settle permanently (you cannot come to Canada and leave to go live in another country, even if it’s temporary)
• show you’re able to quarantine for 14 days

If you’re travelling by air, you need to pass a health check conducted by the airline before boarding a flight. If you show symptoms of COVID-19, you won’t be allowed to board."
