No one has a definitive explanation for PRBIO. It is an internal designation for IRCC to help group certain applications. Some theorized that it was for bio exempt applicants, but there have been instances where PRBIO has appeared in files and biometrics were still required from the applicant.

Yess... I am not bio exempt...

No. When i called up they stated everything was passed

for me it took about 17 days from All passed to approved in the portal.

 

[pjsandhu]

Applicants may also see mentioned in their GCMS file; PRBIO which refers to biographical data (height, eye colour, etc) which is collected prior to issuance of a PR.


I searched and got this about PRBIO...

thanks for replying

hmmm weird cuz on my portal it does not say "Completed" instead it is the "we do not need your fingerprints" message.

But my biometric info is in my Applicant Information

I am having same status ‘ we do not need your fingerprints’ because i have already submitted my biometric in previous work-permit application

@shredder
Well thank you for the response, so once you provided, did u get PR after and if yes, how many days after did u get it?

My point here is that, I have never travelled, resided or visited USA ever, I read on the other thread that, I can still apply for FBI clearance certificate and it will remove no name matching I guess.
I am just thinking whether I should still apply for the PCC or simply just submit an LOE stating that I have never been to the USA?
I really can't afford a rejection here. I am still okay with applying for PCC just to make sure that the immigration officer knows that I have not travelled at all.

@legalfalcon - Thanks for the response- Can you please suggest here, I got your point. I have the upload option. Do you think if I should apply for PCC or just again simply submit a LOE letter stating never been to USA.

Thanks in advance guys, I am sorry if I am asking again, I really don't want to put myself in trouble.

I'm still waiting for a decision (see information in the signature) but again our case is different from your: CEC inland with outland dependent + I have travelled to the USA but my spouse has never been to the USA.
We decided that it would be safe to actually prove that there are no criminality-related concerns from the USA for both of us. That's what actually PCC confirms. It does not tell whether or not you visited this country or how many days you spent there.
And the fact that you were in a certain country can be easily confirmed using all the data from our profile (for instance, BIO + travel history, address history and etc.). IRCC conducts a lot of checks including information sharing that should reveal this.

Good luck with your case!

P.S: sometimes I feel like these ADRs they send to us are just to justify their long processing time if you know what I mean I have colleagues who were asked to provide a marriage certificate, IELTS certificate and scanned diplomas, even though such were already present in their profile.
