Friends, I know of 2 applications who got their PR approved(pre-covid) without being issued the BIL at all. Are you guys aware of any such cases?
Case 1. PA was CEC-PNP, never gave bio for previous applications to Canada, did not get the BIL at all, spouse was issued a BIL and had to give bio. PR approved in Mar20.
Case 2. PA was CEC, got the BIL with instructions to provide bio in US (luckily had B1), spouse never gave bio for previous application to Canada but was not issued a BIL and did not have to give bio. PR approved in Mar20. (both PA and spouse were in US with H1 before moving to Canada)
