Just curious, how did you get your Biometrics completed on the same day as AOR?
They updated the date for biometrics later, actually few weeks ago and I believe its because I had given biometrics in November, 2019 for my Visa application. They did send me a letter in September, 2020 to give biometrics but I couldn't give due to Covid-19. However, That is how the date is the same as AOR !
Hope they refund the BIO fee that I paid during application.
best,

Hello All, My AOR was August 4th CEC (joint application) - I have realized that I should have scanned all our passport pages which had stamps on. I didn't do this and now I'm wondering if this is something i should send in to them even? or just wait? any feedback would be great

Can attach it to through the web form.Any additional relevant information will prevent the delay of your application and make their job much easier on their end . Your passport stamps confirms the date of the countries you listed in the travel history form over the last 10 years we all had to fill out.

I would send the additional stamps if I was in your position.

They ask for information they already have access to such as: employment records, visa refusals, criminal records,travel history etc. And still require each applicant to still fill out the details. If they can verify all the information your provided matches their records, you make your processing faster and their job easier. And this explains why some applications are processed faster and some take longer to process.

Think of all the forms you filled in as a test of your honesty. You want them to be able to verify 100% of what you filled out in the forms and not find any discrepancy.

Thanks appreciate the help! Submitted them just now.
I think I will call IRCC on Monday or Tuesday and see how much progress my application has done. Impossible to get hold of them unless I call at 8am!
You can also try and get a holding them in the afternoon as well, an hour or two before they close.Worked for me the last time.

how do you ask for the information? I’ve heard some people ring up and get not much. Also are we all passed the rejection stages being over 6 months now?

Going past 6 months doesn’t automatically mean your application can’t be rejected. As for info, you keep trying to ring IRCC and when connected, you specifically ask for the status of the different stages
