Holy moly that's really good news!! Anyone knows how long it takes for application details page to be updated to reflect that? On my application details page it still states that they are waiting for my biometrics.

Looks like they updated the page again and removed the section about biometrics not being required anymore.
I hope they didn't change their minds.

They deleted the section for the temporary applicant.

EDIT: I get this now
We couldn't find that Web page
Error 404

We're sorry you ended up here. Sometimes a page gets moved or deleted, but hopefully we can help you find what you're looking for

It doesn't make sense that now the biometrics page no longer mentions anything related to inland temporary resident applications. You'd think if they gave up the idea of biometric exemptions, at least they would add back the section of extending biometrics deadline for temporary residents in the same way they had for PR applications. Otherwise how else would we give biometrics with service Canada suspending biometrics indefinitely?

Lets wait tomorrow maybe its just a mistake from them.

No biometrics submitted till date and just got to know that we don't have to give it anymore.
Eligibility review hasn't started yet.

just got to know that we don't have to give it anymore.

Do you mean from the website or did you get some kind of notification?
Because the website doesn't say that anymore.
