Yes I told you! Anyways, try to relax and enjoy your time. We are not here to give false hopes, rather help each other take this long time easily and if we have some info, share it with others.I spoke with an agent and they confirmed that the security check was started on April 1st.
I think it is going to be long... Sooooo frustrating after 8 months of waiting the security check just started.
I think anyone who has ADR receives a ghost update indicating that the officer reviewed that.You are really in better position than me! After 13 month not only security not started but just moved to another visa office! Have you had any ghost update when your security got started?
13 months after ADR just reviewed additional documents! Well done! With new office! Means I should wait 1 year!!!I think anyone who has ADR receives a ghost update indicating that the officer reviewed that.
Maybe your also started. Only notes can tell
Diana, please put your timeline in your signature so others can use the info and help you.I’m going crazy as well, my AOR is Feb 23 and after 62 days, I haven’t been invited for Biometrics yet, are medicals are “ we are reviewing “ for 14 days now. I have no idea what’s going on
How do you know that? As far as I know biometrics are valid for 10 years and you don't have to do it multiple times as they stay the same in those years. Are you sure about that?We did give biometrics last year for a multiple visitors visa for Canada, but we have to repeat them and I know it’s a must, almost everyone before and after our AOR have gotten their MEP and BIL
people applying for PR, regardless of their valid biometrc which was taken for Temporary visas have to give new biometric.How do you know that? As far as I know biometrics are valid for 10 years and you don't have to do it multiple times as they stay the same in those years. Are you sure about that?
Oh I see. Thank you very much Soheil. I didn't know that.people applying for PR, regardless of their valid biometrc which was taken for Temporary visas have to give new biometric.
the old biometric is still valid for any visas except PR visa. this applied since 2018 Summer I think. there however maybe some exception for whom currently in Canada.
@soheilhs @Mr_nobody , I beg to differ, if someone got biometric under any visa and apply for PR and using the same UCI, biometric will be transferred to PR application, this normally happens upon medical approval, this happens to me and my wife. again this means that your previous visas should not be paper based and you are using the same UCI upon applying PR.Oh I see. Thank you very much Soheil. I didn't know that.
It is so stupid though. The finger print won't change in a year. Why do they want it again?!!!
even though I applied before this new biometric rule, I saw they added the biometric that I did 5-6 years ago to my application! I thought they are gonna do the same!
You differ with which one of us?! Soehil was already against my idea@soheilhs @Mr_nobody , I beg to differ, if someone got biometric under any visa and apply for PR and using the same UCI, biometric will be transferred to PR application, this normally happens upon medical approval, this happens to me and my wife. again this means that your previous visas should not be paper based and you are using the same UCI upon applying PR.
Who? Me or Ayoub-ms-nobody?Keep calm my friend..

If you are applying from Iran, medicals might take longer than inland applicants.
How do you know that? As far as I know biometrics are valid for 10 years and you don't have to do it multiple times as they stay the same in those years. Are you sure about that?
For medicals, some times there is something wrong with the test (the tubes wre dirty, the facilities didn't work properly, etc.), they sometimes ask to redo it. Also, a question, did you do upfront MEP or is the hospital responsible for sending them? Are you sure the hospital has sent the results properly?
Good luck in the race
So this is my immitracker timeline
FSW-O (Iran)
ITA Jan 2019
AOR Feb 23 2019
I’m main applicant with my husband and two kids under 14
April 11 medicals went from we don’t need any to we are reviewing you results ( we did them upfront and they were sent to IRCC after two days which I’m sure of because I got the e-medical completed form emailed to me)
I got a ghost update one day after and that’s it. Also my biometric info from last year is reflected in my account. But Since 2019 every PR applicant, regardless of previous biometrics, needs to undergo fingerprinting again. I’ll share the source below
