I was wondering same thing. I applied end of May 2023 and in November they requested police certificate from me. Biometric and medical from my partner(in Canada-not refugee).
They did not request biometric from me.
But I know someone who applied for pr beginning of May and she gave biometric. They requested from her.
I was worrying about why they did not request from me:(

As he mentioned above this policy started from June 14th, 2023 maybe that's why we didn't asked for ,

When biometric instructions will come after application? And how we will get this? by portal or by email?

What are all steps after application?
