The actual processing of your application has not begun yet. Bio-metrics are a part of the application package and your application will not be deemed complete without completing or complying with this requirement.Thanks, but we received a letter of biometrics along with the letter of acknowledgement of receipt,
So what does this mean ?
Does it mean the processing has already started when the ecas doesn't show processing started ?
At some point, your application will be pre-screened and triaged at BRO/BRA-Vancouver. It will then be transferred to your local immigration office or one of the other BRO/BRAs responsible for adjudicating these kinds of petitions.
It will then be placed in an inventory for the files to be assigned and reviewed by senior immigration officers at the responsible BRO/BRAs. At that time, a senior immigration officer will be assigned to your file who will then render a Stage 1 decision.
Following a positive stage 1 decision, you will be sent a correspondence and be required to meet the other statutory requirements specified in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
