Today, my status changed from your action is required to Submitted. I'd given Bio-metric previously for my work permit extension. There is no other update in the application.
AOR: 19th July

Called IRCC since I was questioning what was on my profile nothing was updated, waited for ~24 mins on the line. Agent was extremely helpful (probably relaxed and recharged after the Thanksgiving long weekend :p) and told me the following:

Medicals (had it done July 2019): Passed
Biometrics (exempted gave it back in Fall 2014 for study permit): Passed
Eligibility : In Progress
Security : Not started
Criminality: In Progress
BG check: in progress
Visa office: CPC-Ottawa

Agent gave a heads up that due to COVID obviously the processing time will be more or less than 6 months

Yes I did get BIL. on Sep 16th. I think after few days they brought in new rule to exempt folks.
my status still says "Your action Required". However, I believe i am Exempted.
I had mep and bil on sept 16 as well. Biometrics done in January. I submitted the receipt from that with my application. Biometrics from January is in my profile but still saying it's requested.

To those wondering about "action required" to "submitted", it doesn't necessarily mean anything. After a period of time, it automatically goes to submitted if you don't do your biometrics. It doesn't mean someone has updated your biometrics.

If your biometrics really was updated from an exisiting one, it'll say "completed" in the biometrics field.

May be not , I see my biometrics updated (which I have given starting of this year ) , however I still see a message “ we have not received your fingerprints”
