Hey, I'm from the February Outland applications (received February 20th) and I just wanted to tell you that I have been receiving the same messages as the one mentioned above for several months! We just received the Biometrics Request an hour ago, a couple of days after the February 17th, 18th and 19th applications! Your turn is coming!!! A tiny bit more patience everyone! We all can do it!
Thank you for the update. Hopefully we all get to be with our spouses very soon!
You're most welcome! We're all in this together

My application was received in February the biomatics request was received earlier this week
This question never received a solid answer so I’ll add a bit here. There was mentiom of the spouse living illegally in the USA? While that may be a concern for them, they’re likely also looking for proof of cohabitation. You may have been married for 17 years and have three kids, but how much of those 17 years have you actually spent living together and did you provide enough solid evidence of those years spent living together? If you did not and you haven’t been living together for most of that time, they could be questioning how genuine the marriage is. While married couples don’t have to prove time living together consecutively like common law, for a marriage that long, not living together for much of it can be seen as a red flag.
My application was received on 3rd March2020, and got AOR1 and biomatrics request on 04-09-2020, but all VFS are closed in India.
The deadline to submit biometrics is automatically extended to 90 days: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ovid19/immigration-applicants.html#processing
