I am also AOR 8th April FSW outland but the webform reply is only application is under process. I have also given biometrics in June. Received Webform response on 18th September have ordered GCMS notes should arrive in the last week of October will see then.

They tend to send back generic replies if contacted multiple times via webforms. Keep us posted and all the best.

Hi @legalfalcon, I am in this situation where I have noticed that while filing my application I have entered my name twice. the reason for this is because I don't have the last name I end up filling my full name twice in the given name and family name section and now that I noticed my biometrics letter have my name twice ...now I wonder if in following days I get called up for the biometrics appointment will the service Canada officials be collecting my biometrics or will I need an updated BIL.
Thankyou

There is no need be concerned. The last name field cannot be left blank, and as per IRCC, "if you do not have a family name on your passport, travel or identity document, enter all your given name(s) in the surname field and leave the given name field blank."

If you entered your first name in both the first name and last name filed, there's no need to be concerned about.

I called IRCC today and the agent said once my biometrics get updated the final decision would come. I gave biometrics in feb 2020 for TRV. Why they didn’t update my biometrics yet. Does it happen to anyone else ?
@legalfalcon any views on this?? Aor April 9th. She said everything is done except biometrics

The exemption was announced only a few days back. i.e.Sept. 22. Give it some time.

In one case, shared on a Telegram Channel, the biometric status gets updated in September 24. For this Case, AOR was pretty much in January-February 2020 ( I can guess from the Medical Pass date)
