Friend,

Have you tried sending an inquiry thru webform? Sabi ng CIC website 4 weeks na lang ang Regular Stream processing (from 6 weeks).

Hello anyone in this thread who received a correspondence biometrics letter?
When we lodged our application online last June 26th, we got an update via GCKey account requesting me and my wife SOWP that we needed to do the biometrics. We got the request on June 27th. Medical request came the next day, June 28th. We did our Medical on July 3rd. For biometrics, we got the July 5th schedule.

What i mean with biometric correspondence letter is a statement wherein the validity of your biometrics. That it is valid for 10 years. It is not a request rather an information of your biometrics validity.

Hello anyone in this thread who received a correspondence biometrics letter?
My cousin's husband did receive this letter. Have you linked your application thru GCkey? What combination did you use? We're trying, but it says no file matching.

What was the result of your cousins husband? What was the update after receiving the biometrics validity/correspondence?

I am under an agency, my agent just emailed the letter to me.

We're not able to see any updates because we can't link the file thru GCkeys.

Thanks for clarifying. We did not receive this kind of letter. Is receiving this kind of letter crucial to anyone's study permit/SOWP?

This is what we get in our GCKey Account:

Applicant information
  • Principal Applicant: L****** L*****
  • Unique Client Identifier (UCI): ****7306
  • Application number: S*****6716
  • Date Received: June 26, 2019
  • Biometrics:
    • Biometrics Number:0005****1907****1358
    • Date of Biometrics Enrolment: July 5, 2019
    • Expiry Date: July 5, 2029
I suppose those who lodged their application online will recieve updates and notification electronically.

Yes. Nagsend na po ako actually last night, yung processing time kasi nung nagapply ako is 6weeks, tapos 4 weeks nalang nga ngayon. Still waiting. Worry ko lang if ever positive, magahol ako sa oras.
