what does biometrics completed indicate? Thank You.

All applicants have to provide biometrics as a part of the application process.

If you received a BIL letter, IRCC has informed that the biometric instruction letter (BIL) cannot be amended and IRCC will continue to advise applicants that they have 30 days from the date of the letter to give their biometrics. In the most recent policy change, IRCC has informed that if you have given biometrics in the last 10 years, you are exempt from giving them again. To check if your previous biometrics are valid, you can check the status at <https://onlineservices-servicesenli...WG8awkgF_u7OGylXTxRqhCM_g23tSqq1uJVhC2KyRv1aI>

To read more on biometrics see https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/campaigns/biometrics/facts.html

Biometrics is not a stage in itself, but a mandatory part of the application and until the biometrics are in, your criminality will continue to show pending.

Can you provide the number unless if it says unknown or no caller id?
Thank you
 
@legalfalcon Nowadays, a lot of applicants observed in GCMS notes that Eligibility is PASSED (not Recommend Pass) but last note was from case analyst, not officer.


Do you think this a new trend that as far as just Eligibility is concerned, case analyst is taking the decision to write PASSED, (unless there is a review required situation), and Officer is only giving the final approval comments once all checks are complete?

Else, what could be the reasoning behind Eligibility PASSED but no officer comments?

my Biometrics section mentions as"We dont need your Biometrics....." . My dependants gave biometrics for visitor Visa and their details got updated in profile on same day i received BIL for all of us. I never gave Biometrics for canada so my biometrics section is empty . Im wondering if i need to raise Webform or call IRcC to sort out this. Any suggestions ?
