I entered Canada on a Visitor Visa then applied for PR and OWP and due to COVID-19 had to extend my stay or apply for a Visitor Record, that got approved and then only my OWP

i applied for pr and owp on March 31 and for visitors record in June and when I check on line both say submitted and that’s it so a bit worried about having 2 applications open and not a response from anyone regarding them
At the moment it is a waiting game, if you applied for Visitor Record before your Visitor Visa expired, you are on implied status and have nothing to worry about.
It might help to just log a Webform or phone them and ask if there is an update, if you get the standard reply about how busy they are then unfortunately you will just have to wait till they get to it.
Rest assured that the fact that you have 2 applications open at the same time would not affect the one or the other.
I was able to book an appointment for biometrics with the online system and I got an appointment for tomorrow in St. John's NL.
My app was received March 23. I received the BIL Nov 24. I read the guideline (link given from the BIL) and it says “an officer will call you to book an appointment” that’s why I want to ask if I should wait for that or just request appointment already because when you request online, the officer will call.
As of November 30 u can now book biometrics appointment online.

Re: Biometrics
So if I understand correctly, if an applicant provided biometrics during a TRV application within the last 10 years, he/she would be exempt, correct? And if you do need to provide biometrics, you'll receive an instruction letter?

Correct, as long as u have a valid biometrics within 10 years then u r exempt from given biometrics and shouldn’t receive biometrics instruction letter.
