I received the email that my payment added to my account but no update in GC..I hope most of us get BIL/MED based on your call and their words.I called IRCC and they said they will send the letters to the new group shortly. Not sure what they meant but it looks like they send letters on batches. They told me my application is in security stage which will take a while and eligibility passed. Also they said application will be processed within 5 months.
It is clear now that even if they did not request for biometrics, the application is processed and moving on the next phase.
