Congrats peer! great to hear. I hope everything is going well ASAP for all of us. is there any instruction letter for biometric too?
I'm July 2020 applicant, and hope for getting a permanent file number in the next few days?

No, there was no biometrics request. I don't need biometrics done because I submitted mine months ago for another application and they are still valid.

I only received the AOR yesterday, and IRCC told me via email that processing on my application had began.

 

[SUV_Unicorn_Potential]

Congratulation! Where is your home country and do you know any others can receive the AOR as well?

I'm currently in Canada under a StartUp Visa work permit, which I got last year in Nov

No, none. It will be probably another few months before I get another response

Hi all,
I have a question related to ielts validation, please advise:
My IELTS will be expired in Oct 2021.
I already submitted my application in Mar 2021, and received Temporary File Number in April 2021.
So, I wonder if I have to do IELTS test (again) before getting AOR or Permanent File Number ?? Anyone has the same case ? Will IRCC request a new one ??

Thank uuu

They might request a new one during the processing time. It is called ADR. However, It is not required that you have to take another test if the IELTS expires after your application is received.

Thank you so much, Rach03.
I should stop worrying about the test and focus on preparing for other ADR.

17 months (Calculated from the date IRCC receipt of your application to the date IRCC "made the final decission"...)
You may need to give biometrics with your application. This processing time includes the time you need to give your biometrics.
You can check via the website of IRCC, this processing time is updated monthly by IRCC.

Hi,
Biometrics: is it photo or fingerprint ?
We applied our application with member's photo only.

HI friends. I am from India, and somehow the eligibility questionnaire for the work permit never comes to Foreign Worker - International Mobility. I am answering all the questions exactly as they say. What do I do?
