Raised a webform last week. Here is the response:

Hi everyone,
I raised a Web Form on Monday about not being able to complete Biometrics. Here is the response:

The Government of Canada is closely monitoring the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and any impacts on IRCC clients.

If the responsible office requested that you provide additional documents, complete a medical examination or give your biometrics, rest assured that they will not refuse your application if you cannot complete the next step due to the novel coronavirus.

[...]

Additionally, you will find below useful information that we hope will help understand the process and current status of your application for permanent residence:

  • The eligibility review is valid.
  • The security background verification has not been initiated.
  • The criminal background verification is in progress.

Any thought?
What stream are you and what is your timeline ito AOR, MEP etc.
seems like you are good, nothing to worry about. If your eligibility review is valid that’s a good thing, as long as you haven’t anything to worry about ito your criminality and security you should be fine. Looks like you just have to wait a little for your BIOs but your application looks excellent so far!!!

Please read the first few posts in this thread. The different stages and status are explained there. Average processing times is 6 months.
 
Hello guys, today my application reached to 50%. There is a slight change in Application status, before it says "you will not hear from us for a little while , this is normal..." to "Make sure you read your messages and take action when we ask you to. This will help move the application process along."
But in the Details about your application status there's no change. BG status is still "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."

What's your stream and AOR date? Did you got any ghost update?
 
Got ADR on 28th April
submitted on 30th April
Review of additional documents changed to 'not applicable'. Is it a ghost update or something?
 
FSW_O, Feb 1 AOR, I'm not sure about ghost updates there's may be one after medical pass but didn't pay attention that time.

Feb applications are getting a move on ... good signs
