Hi there,

Thanks @POLEPALLE1704 for your reply.

I was wondering if the huge 27K CEC draw would have slowed down our FSW applications.

But by reading your timelines and progress in this forum, it seems it doesn’t have an impact on the applications that were already submitted at the time of the CEC draw right?

As IRCC announced that they were prioritizing applicants that are free from travel restrictions, do you think that FSW inland candidates are prioritized? Or does it just mean that CEC is the only program that is considered a priority?

Thanks again.

As you said, sounds quite generic. Your application is on going, everything looks fine. What kind of answer are you looking for?

Hey when exactly did you call IRCC and found out that your Criminality has passed? My AOR is Nov 17 and I received a webform a few days ago saying Criminality In progress... I only have 2 PCC from 2 countries.
 
Vfs india is complete chaos, got a biometrics appointment for coming monday without entering the dependent’s BIL details as the website wasnt allowing it. Got an email today that you must enter dependent’s BIL while applying for appointments, but the website still doesnt allow. Utter confusion. Anyone else facing the same issue.

Got below email from VFS today :

You have booked a biometric appointment at the Canada Visa Application Centre.

If you are applying under the E/EP/F categories and have dependents who have the same application number as yours, you may now book an appointment request for them with the same application number using the biometric appointment web form.(https://vfs-cic.mioot.com/forms/appointments/).

Please make sure to upload the Biometrics Instruction Letter (BIL) of each applicant.
