Hi everyone,
I just got my AOR on 13 August 2020 and biometrics request the same day.. my concern is does any one know how to go about it? Because service Canada is not offering the biometrics service now due to Covid19.
It can’t currently be done in Canada.

Typically 2 years until you hear whether she gets AIP or is refused. You should be aware that parents do get denied for H&C even if widowed. It is a risky thing to apply for. Attached an example.

Thanks for the response and giving me a very goodexample.
But I have a unique situation, on top of her-being my mother- (I do not want to disclose in the group)

However i just got a medical request this morning so I am really hoping that its heading to the positive route

As long as you are clear about the risks good luck. Assume it has to do with her health if she is being asked to do a medical so early.

Yes my application went in process in November 2020. Today I got an email from BRO office that my application has been reviewed that I don't need biometric, they initiated refund for the biometric fee I paid. I am hopping and praying for positive decision. Thanks for asking.

Hello I have H and C application for my mom.Here's her timeline

Application submitted: Feb 2020
AOR: April 15 2020
Biometric Request: August 7 2020

Hoping to see more timeline under this category.

All the best for everybody!
Mine application submitted June 2020, AOR July 2020, request for biometrics Sept. 8,2020. I submitted my biometrics last December because of covid closures. Now my lawyer is asking me to submit updates from my financial stuff and daughter's school report cards. She said just to let the officer know i am still continuing to establish myself in Canada.
Hoping also to have new information sooner.
