Thanks for your reply. Do they put PR application on hold until we do the biometrics? It will be extremely difficult to travel to Nepal or Dubai to do the biometrics for us. Thank you

I don’t know if your application will be put on hold or not. IRCC stated that they have limited capacity to process applications that aren’t CEC at the moment, so I doubt it will change anything.
Please refer to this link for more info about what to do when the biometrics collection sites reopen near you: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/biometrics.html

Thanks.. I just received a message in my profile saying that I passed my medical. Also, I received Biometrics request. However, when I proceeded with the web form it didn't allow me to go the next page and I was stuck with the following message:

"Appointment slots are limited and in very high demand. Please make every effort to attend a confirmed appointment. Missed appointments will not be re-scheduled at this time.

Biometric appointment may now be requested from Family Class Priority, Study Permit, Workers permit , Returning Workers & Returning Students. Please continue to visit the COVID-19 page on this website for further updates: https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/can/"

Can you tell me what to do next?

Are you in India? If so, biometrics appointments aren’t available at the moment if you don’t fit in one of the above mentioned categories as you aren’t allowed to land in Canada at the movement. You just have to wait until collection resumes near you, you won’t need a new BIL when the time comes.

hello, I got my AOR on Jan 21 (FSW - OUTLAND) and cleared medicals yesterday and also got BIL.
But I have a concern. My given name is GURPAL SINGH on my passport and my last name is EMPTY. But in my express entry profile I entered my Given Name as Gurpal and Last name as SINGH as I was not allowed to leave any of the space blank. I explained this in LOE and also attached attested affidavits with it. On my BIL, names are mentioned as per my profile. So, will there be any problem when I will go for bio metrics as the first name and last name will not match with my passport. Has any one faced similar issue....Requesting a guidance over this .... thanks in advance

Hi, I can’t say for sure so it might be worth trying to ring the IRCC directly and ask them the question. Alternatively, you can post this question as a separate thread it will give it more visibility in the forum and you might get more help. I was only asked to give my full name during the biometrics appointment, they didn’t make any difference between first and last names.

There is no point in getting your GCMS notes now, it’s too soon after submission. Wait 3-4 months before ordering them as it will give you some info on wether or not Security/Eligibility/etc. have been started.

Let's see how it goes
People with AOR on the first week of Dec are getting MEP and BIL

Hi,
Did you receive AOR by email or online account? Because I have received my AOR in my online account on the same day I have submitted my application. Is it the same AOR which you have received?

The AOR is the message you get in your online account after submission of your documents and payment of the fees.

Hey buddy, FSW-O residence-US here.
How did you submit biometrics so soon? Through VAC or ASC?

It’s too early for GCMS notes. I would say wait at least 4 months before ordering it considering current backlogs especially for non-CEC.

And keep us posted on GU, IP1 updates.
