If you have provided it before you might get the exemption. But I think it's a bit earlier on your case, you should get an update in 1 or 1,5 months.

Hi Bro,
Yeah, I did provide in 2016 when I came to Canada 1st time for study.

I read from IRCC that
Biometrics exemption for permanent residence applicants who have given biometrics within the last 10 years
As a temporary measure, you’re exempt from giving biometrics if you have both of the following:

  • already applied or are applying for permanent residence
  • given your biometrics within the last 10 years
I hope I get the exemption. It might shorten my processing time.

See page 1 of the thread.


4. I have received Biometrics Instructions Letter (BIL), but all IRCC offices in Canada or in my country are closed, and I am unlikely to comply with the 30 days time frame to provide the biometrics.
IRCC has informed that the biometric instruction letter (BIL) cannot be amended and IRCC will continue to advise applicants that they have 30 days from the date of the letter to give their biometrics. In the most recent policy change, IRCC has informed that if you have given biometrics in the last 10 years, you are exempt from giving them again. To check if your previous biometrics are valid, you can check the status at <https://onlineservices-servicesenli...WG8awkgF_u7OGylXTxRqhCM_g23tSqq1uJVhC2KyRv1aI>

However, if you do not fall within the above exception, IRCC will automatically extend your biometrics deadline to give your biometrics. You do not have to give your biometrics until the sites reopen. This applies to you, even if your biometrics instruction letter (BIL) says you have 30 or 90 days. Also, you don’t have to contact IRCC for this extension, and you don’t need a new BIL to make another appointment when sites reopen. You can bring your original BIL to your new appointment to show proof of payment, even if time frame mentioned on BIL is expired. To keep updated on the most recent updates in BIL see here.

Hi sir. my AOR is sep 30. In my POF pdf document, I missed a minor information. Is it recommended if I add that minor information in my POF pdf file and send it through CSE and request cic to consider new POF pdf file for assessment, as my aor is only sep 30. The info. is minor, but still to be on the safe side, I wish cic should know about it. Can I make a new pof pdf file and send it through CSE and request cic to consider new pof pdf file?

Yes, you can send the replacement document via webform (CSE)

ITA: 8th July
AOR: 1st Oct
Medical and PCC : Given upfront
Biometrics: Had submitted last year during Temporary visa issue so I guess they will not need it again.

No update since submission on 1st Oct. I know its a little early to ask for update but views on timeline / experience of people would help.
Please share experiences in terms of time lines.
