I'm in Ontario increasingly worried that my Biometrics collection location and medical location will close before I get to my appointments.

We are in the same boat.
Application received: February 24th
AOR: March 6th
And silence since then, I’m so anxious damn. If COVID-19 has no effect on the process, we should be receiving bio request this week hopefully, most people got bio request a week or two after AOR according to spreadsheet.
Our timelines are the same

Hi everyone!
Looks like there hasn't been any activity the past few days.. anyone knows if they stopped working/processing applications due to COVID-19?
Given the nature of the work, I imagine they can't work remotely.

Sigh yup, every company is working on plans for this. The website states that while applications already received will be worked on. However there may be delays. All new applications will take longer to receive AOR etc. will not be sent back but instead they will ask for the info. But will hold app for 90 days... Stuff like that. The official statement is on their website.

Quick question, how do you know that your application has been transferred to VO? Is an email sent to you or is it GCKey or ECAS? If in one of these, aside from email, where do you look to see which one? Thanks in advance.

Most seem to receive emails.
