I believe the appointment will be provided based on the DO receipt.
By the way what did you enter as BIL number?
Not sure what they’re referring to online..could be the visitors visa submitted thru online for spouse and children.

Q confusion ARE we FCP GUYS --yes is GOOD if no then Anyone ? I think those are the spouses or parents in severe med. emergency..May be I am wrong, rather should be wrong I hope. I checked IRCC letter it indicates ;- Category: FC1 why not FCP This is what we found:-
Spouses, partners and dependent children have also been designated within CIC as FC Priority (FCP) classes. As such, CIC has made it an operational policy to expedite the processing of these types of applications

We are discussing how will they give us Aptts. DO receipt is your STAMPED DATE when postman delivered. It is like a Seniority amongst workers

I just found FCP in my sponsor approval email from IRCC. It says "Sponsorship Elig Decision FCP Fxxxxxxxxx" in subject line.
So we are FCP - Family Class Priority.
