Biometrics

[Retribution Seeker]

Hello.

I have submitted my application online on April 20, 2016 and received the biometric message on the same day to go an get my fingerprints and my photograph taken, and since then my biometric review on the application did not change, it's still "Not needed at this time". Is it normal to take that long to be reviewed?

Cheers.

Hi,

I had the same case. At the beginning, it was written that 'your action was required'. But, after I provided them it has been change into 'Not needed at this time', so it is normal.

Oh, I see, what a relief, I though there was something stuck in there delaying the process since it's been 20 days since I gave them the biometrics and nothing changed.
Thanks mate. Good luck.

Hi All,

I am here on work permit and had given my biometrics around 2 years ago for my work permit application.
Now I am in Canada.

I got my ITA in April for PR and need to submit all documents in 2 days. Till yesterday I was under impression that BIOMETRICS will not be needed in my case and old one can be used.

I just got to know that after 14th June 2023, rules are changed. IRCC asks all applicants to do BIOMETRICS who applies on/after 14th June 2023 even if they have valid biometrics from work permit etc.

Can someone have more info on this and can guide?

If I need to give biometrics then I can submit my PR application and then apply for biometric separately?

Can someone guide please? Thanks
