Has anyone got the same thing and can enlighten me a bit. Thank you.
Please keep us updated and let us know if they will consider the old Biometric due to COVID-19 situation.

Yes, me too. My old biometric was updated and also the sent me another BIL. I have no idea if they will process the one onfile or wait until I do the recent biometric. Do you have any idea

Did anyone happen to see "Application/profile updated" in your account? I received BIL and MEP on June 8th and was showing "your action required" after receiving BIL. Suddenly saw this "Application/profile updated" but nothing seems to be updated in the profile. When returned back, it said again "your action required". Does this mean they are processing our application even without Biometrics?

It happened for me too. Looks like they are processing something. I ordered GCMS notes to see what's happening.

It happened again today. Tried to reach IRCC, but unsuccessful in reaching the agent. Call drops when waiting for an agent to pick up.

I'm in the same status as you. I did a research on this forum and they said don't worry about the 90 day window, they extended it until after Service Canada branches are open.

@scylla please help me..I worked as restaurant supervisor from August 2018 to September 2019. After that I quit my job over there. Since then I did not work until February 2020 where I started to do uber eats. I got AOR on 8th April. Since my work permit was is expiring on 5th May I applied for bridging work permit too. Now my question is
1) Can I work as uber eats food delivery courier under implied status.??
2) Will it be a problem for my PR if I do uber eats while my file is in process.
Also am showing proof of funds just to be on safer side. Any expert please help me and thank you.
Best thing is to contact uber support. Did you tried that?

Hi guys,

could anyone give me light please?
I´m wondering the best way to procede in my application - in Personal History and Study Section

should I input just 1 row (Jan 2000 to Jul 2017 - University)


or should I split in 2 rows (Jan 2000 to Dec 2002 and Jan 2015 to Jul 2017 - University)

jan 2000 - university course started
Dec 2002 - course paused due personal reasons
Jan 2015 - course retaken from where I left
Jul 2017 - course finished

Thank you guys so much!

you should split into 2 rows. It would reflect reality. You also do not attend the school continuously from 2000 and 2017 so it doesn't make sense.

Anyone here with a job title "Android developer" ? I chose NOC 2174, and was wondering if this is correct.

I work on android mobile applications. I write and modify code, test, attend meetings and everything a software developer / developer should do.
Please give your insights and share experience. thank you.

Another interesting thing I found is that in NOC page, they mention "Employment requirements" in which they states what you must have studied, do they consider that or it is okay since employer hired me they likely to consider that ?

In 2174 it says this under "Employment requirements"
  • A bachelor's degree in computer science or in another discipline with a significant programming component or completion of a college program in computer science is usually required.
  • Specialization in programming for engineering and scientific applications requires specific post-secondary study or experience.
I did computer programmer diploma course of 2 years, I think this suffice it right? Please let me know or share your insights and thoughts. Thanks

I received my GCMS notes today. I could understand that the Ghost Update happened on the same day they marked my Eligibility as Passed.
So, I guess, even you passed the Eligibility. :)

It is also mentioned in the notes that Criminality is on hold due to missing Biometrics.
Security will start only after Criminality.

Fingers crossed to open the Biometrics soon.

Congrats!!! May I know the website or how did you order the GCMS notes? and how long it took to get those notes? Today, I checked my profile online, it says "Submitted" instead of Action Required. Not sure if this is also a GU.
