Yup. Her biometrics have been accepted.... and are valid for the next 10 years from the date that IRCC received them. That. Or else she has been exempted from giving fingerprints for biometrics collection.

Positive developments :)
You are such a star! Thank You for sharing your happy vibes and all your awesome ideas. Thanks and have a lovely weekend!!

To anyone who comes across this unique problem in the future, don't worry if the finger prints are not 100%. The Visa Offer (VO) has to try and get better finger prints but if they do not work the second time around as well, then VO has complete discretion.

With 2 data sets (from two biometrics of an individual) the VO is able to triage the person's identity using eyes and facial recognition bit.

My mother's visa was approved after having issues with Biometrics.

@Bryanna THANK YOU! @scylla thank you as well.

You guys are phenomenal.

Should I fill webform?

Hi, I did my biometrics on November 22 at VAC, Ankara, Turkey, but since then no biometrics information is appeared in my cic profile.
I filled a webform last week but haven't received any response.
I had issues with my fingerprints before, so I'm really worried.
How can I find out if my biometrics are accepted or not?
Does anyone have a clue?

Hello, I went to my biometrics appointment today and the officer told me that they were poor so that IRCC probably contact me again to re do it, but my page (application) got update with the number of biometrics date and expiration. Does that means everything is ok? Or it doesn’t matter and they can ask me to re do it again ? I don’t want to wait more weeks in order to receive a re do it letter! any experience on that?

Hi @Shagupta,

Thanks for sharing thoughts and experiences. Congrats to you and your Mom!
I'm quite relieve now. I got poor quality fingerprint scan as well and I repeat biometrics with a little improvement on fingerprint image. We received Pre Arrival Service Letter already. I hope the VO will decide and approve soon my PR application.

You and @Bryanna are awesome!

Have great day!

You have to wait for VO to send email for repeat biometric. Probably VO will ask you guys again for biometric. Its part of your background check and your identity in Canada. In my case, IRCC request 2nd biometric to finalize my PR application. It took 3 weeks to complete the background check after Ive done 2nd biometric, and tada! after 2 weeks eCOPR.

My mother given biometric on November 30, 2021 in Karachi VFS office. Her fingers are physically not straight and she tried her best. After 3 months of no update I raised a web form and the IRCC office replied that they have received the enrollment for the biometric and it will not appear online as the quality is poor. Further they mentioned that nothing is required to be done from our end. So any idea what should i do? Just wait ?
