Please just don't start going to SC offices without appointments.. that will delay whole process for everyone..

Our AOR Date is 2nd August, CEC inland.
My partner received the Bio call a while ago and booked for 9th Nov at SC, parkway mall in Mississauga. When I asked bout mine, she said, she can't find the name and may be other agent has it with them.

Hi @Cannnada,

You know today when my friend did her Bio, they asked me if I'm doing it too, even though my name wasn't on the list.
If you are not exempt (done biometrics before - last 10 years) and you will not receive a separate appointment, then go with your partner and say that you guys have the same Application Number (you together).

I tried that in this very office, they said they cannot take mine without appointment

Hi @ibh
No, I'm not exempt. In fact I asked the agent if I can join my partner, she said wait for the call. I remember another member posting about visiting along with their partner and Sc acccepted them. If I dont get call I will tag along. Thanks

seems like they are calling randomly because in this excel file in Kitchener area people with June July AOR getting call and guys from Brampton, Brantford and Guelph are getting appointment in Kitchener.

no one is updating this anymore, i think they have covered almost 70 to 80% of the people. So the pending guys will be done soon now. Lot of my friends have given biometrics and they are not even aware of this sheet or these forums lol.

The spreadsheet is just a small sample of the people waiting to do biometrics.And gives a rough idea of the coverage in each province.
