Okay, maybe I’ll try. There’s a nearby SC in our area, so hopefully it will work out.
Biometrics - Poor Quality - GCMS Notes
- Thread starter Maikeerang
- Start date
Hi. I was able to resubmit my biometrics using the old letter.
Thanks for the tip, I was able to resubmit my biometrics again. Sadly, the biometrics staff informed me that the biometrics is still not in the best quality, but she said she will leave a note to IRCC saying this is the second time I had my biometrics. To be honest, I don't know what to do anymore.
Maybe order a new set of GCMS, when my wife did her fingerprints, she had a hard time and the officer said it's not good but in GCMS there's no note for poor quality. From the note, I see she did have biometrics-based RCMP and FBI info sharing sent back from RCMP and FBI to IRCC though. So I guess her biometrics should be good enough to perform the search. So you will know more when the GCMS comes.
The skin on our fingers get dry and had cracks because of the hand sanitizer and the frequent hand wash that we did to clean up because of (COVID). Now when they take the biometrics, it might not be the optimum picture for the fingers to go through the digital system of searching criminals fingerprints network sharing data. However, the scan of the fingers are there and they can check manually if they want!!. Anyway, they will use your biometric unless they ask you to re do it. Meanwhile it might take longer time because they will do assessment for it.
How did you do that friend. I am in same situation and want to appear for biometric again.
Hi guys. Hope you are all doing well. My partner is having the same issue with biometrics. The VAC officer told him that the prints are not clear. This was back in December 2020. Then he got a request again in Jan to resubmit the biometrics but he had the same issue again. Since then, there has been no update at all. Called IRCC and they said that we need to wait for an update from the visa officer. He also raised a webform and included a doctor's note stating that the issue could be due to the skin on his hands.
He has applied for a study permit and received an AIP 10 days back. The call center agent has asked him to wait now. The webform was also acknowledged.
Did anyone receive an update at all after this ?

Yeah, but it's unfair because a lot of other applications are getting processed but applicants between Jan to April are stuck.
I have a good news for u, my friend who has poor quality on her GCMS has gotten her criminality passed.. So you should be alright
What a relief? Can you remind me if your friend had his/her biometrics re-taken? and what's his/her timeline again?
This is a different friend lol. She didn't re-do her biometrics, actually, she scheduled to re-do and called IRCC 1 day before the schedule and learnt that her criminality has been passed, so she cancelled her appoinment.. Her AOR is mid-July, Bios done in mid-Oct, and All passed late Jan or early Feb.What a relief? Can you remind me if your friend had his/her biometrics re-taken? and what's his/her timeline again?
I see. Well, your friend is lucky. I think IRCC does not prioritize applications from the 1st quarter of 2020 anymore. For them, it's just a backlog and just want to process recent applications.
Hoping to get a good news soon. In the meantime, I also applied for bridging work permit, and within 3 days, I received an update saying I can continue to work until the final result of application is provided.
Hi there, I'm in the same situation and considering to schedule a appointment w my old bio collection letter. Before you resubmit your bio, did you see your bio details showing under your applicant information (right hand side on your page)? When you revisit, can SC tell you have already submit your bio once? Thank you! And wish you the best of luck!
Yes, i saw it. I just went to SC and provided biometrics and told the administrator afterwards.
