Biometrics Service Canada Phone Call/Booking Tracking

[Gurk04]

Good to see everyone's frustrations have come to an end. This is so much relief and this should have been done in the first place.

Precovid they used to do it the same way, the key was to stop taking walkins and move every inquiry to appointment based system. The sc agent calling this was just a waste of everyone's time.

booked and completed my biometrics today 10;30am college downtown

congrats. only BIL and passport is required right?

yes some technical issue or site performance is degraded because of heavy user load I guess. I'm experiencing that same since morning.

Same here. The technical issue is still ongoing.

The website malfunctioned and sent me 5 emails saying 'We're still working on your application."

Now that we have passed this biometric waiting phase, what’s next? Can we expect a quick COPR?

Depends, some get COPR a few days / a week after giving bio. Some are like me still waiting. I’m 1.5 months from giving biometrics and criminality still in progress.

Does anyone know if we have to bring a physical copy of the BIL document when we are going to provide the biometrics? I am planning to bring my iPad to show the letter. I do not have a printer and since I work from home and cannot go to the office, I don't wanna waste my time to print the letter.

Better to print they give you a sticker that has the required numbers which becomes your copy for retention. They paste it on the letter.

Thanks for the response. Alright. I will print it out then.

while giving my biometrics today, even after 4 tries, the person told me that for 2 fingers, it didnt get processed correctly as it is showing red. She said IRCC will let me know if I need to provide my biometrics again. Did anyone face this issue?

Did your profile show that biometrics have been completed?

 

[Gurk04]

Got done with biometrics yesterday, everything instantly shows on the profile. As far the progress items it says we havent received your biometrics. Weird?

Yes it says that Biometrics completed

 

[NOC98]

Yes it says that Biometrics completed

Cool. I’m the same also. Fingerprints were too dry at that time. Service Canada employee said that that’s the best we can do. So I guess it’s up to the IRCC officers decide if they’re satisfied with the prints or they would ask for a retake.

That’s normal. Search for old posts, there are a few cases like these. Some don’t get updated until the application was approved. If you’re worried you can use this tool to check: https://onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca/extapp/bioStatusQuery or you can always raise a webform or call IRCC to check that they’re seeing your biometrics info.
