Biometric fee refund

[Pradeep Reddy]

If you did not receive an approval in principle (AIP) for your study permit application prior to completing your biometric enrollment, you will receive a refund of your biometric fees.
You do not need to apply for the refund, it will be automatically processed from our end. We only request you to be patient as we have a large volume of refunds to process.

I'm so confused about this one. What does it mean exactly? Why would they refund the fee??

No AIP. Probably rejected cases

Why would you receive a refund when your application is approved? Haven't you appeared for biometrics during the process?
