I received a request letter weeks after applying for my PGWP. it says something like:

Dear Name Here,
This is in reference to your application for temporary residence. The following documents are required to continue processing your application:
11xxxxxxx - Name Here: >

Payment Receipt: Payment Receipt You are required to provide Biometrics Fee Payment of $85. After making the payment, please provide the payment receipt. This must be received by June 7, 2023

I am so confused. I checked the validity of my Biometrics which is still valid until 2031. I'm not sure how I can give them the receipt from the biometrics I took. I dont have any copies of my paper right now since I am out of town. I cant open my files anymore in CIC Website.

But what I have is the IMM582 which says something about the validity of my Biometrics.

Has anyone been in the same situtation as I? Why are they asking for my biometrics again? and how can I ask for a copy of the receipt again if I currently dont have it with me?

Thank you.

Hi Alex,

I got the same request today. Same as you my Biometrics is valid until 2031. So I submitted the form IMM582 and IMM5756. I hope those should be enough.

Any system glitch that you know of? I just find this uncommon.

Hello,
I applied for my PGWP on May 2 and my biometrics are also valid until 2031, my lawyer submitted the payment receipt and said sometimes they ask for new biometrics but i found it really weird. Any updates regarding your application?

and the only difference between my file and others (normal files) is , i forgot to enter UCI in that IMM form, they gave new UCI number and then they asked for biometric payment receipt after 15 days , it took 12 days to get my BIL, now its been 7 days since i got the last update which is BIL it self

Maybe you can try reaching out to the IRCC - over email or calling them? If you already have biometrics and aren’t receiving any updates - this would be a good time to figure out what they might be getting wrong with the application. Good luck!

Hey have you received anything?

I applied for PGWP on 12th July 2023.I received a request letter from IRCC to give Biometrics on 7th SEP 2023. I also had same situation "2 different UCI number and a minor mistake in IMM 5710E form", I contacted IRCC at that time and they told me raise a webform explaining your situation and then after I do not have to do anything. I did that, and as of now 29th NOV 2023 (140 days since I applied) I did not receive anything. it is really frustrating as I already lost 1 job because of this. Please help me if you see this message.

I got the rejection. Visa officer wrote that I did not provide the Biometric payment receipt therefore he rejected my application. It is quite annoying because I have talked to IRCC agent numerous times and they told me everything is fine. I don’t have to pay and upload the receipt as I have a valid Biometrics from my study permit and it’s valid till 2031. But I got the rejection . My file is in reconsideration right now. I am not sure what will happen in future.

I got the rejection on Dec 19th and the IRCC agent applied for reconsideration within 2 hours.
