Hi guys... I took a biometric 5 years ago to obtain a study permit. It is valid until 2028 as shown in my IRCC account. Meanwhile, the officer asked me to take a biometric. note that my friend who applied through express entry was not asked for a new biometric. why do they ask me so?

You need to give new biometrics for PR. Everyone does, including your friend who will probably be asked later

thank you for your response. but my friend who applied through express entry was not asked for a new biometric. and his biometrics under student status was accepted. he already received his PR card.

Big congrats to you. May I know the “tracker” you mentioned is gckey account or pr tracker. I can link my application to gckey account only.
 
Hello Everyone. I submitted my application in January 2024. after one return, they asked me to pay a biometric fee in April. I paid it and am waiting for the officer to send me a biometrics letter. Can I take a medical exam and submit it with biometrics to avoid waiting again? I heard some of you took medical exams in advance.

Yeah you can do that but doing upfront medical doesn’t change a lot of time. And after biometric you don’t need to send anything they automatically added into the file.

My timeline and yours are almost similar. I submitted my PR application on March 3rd. They requested additional documents, which I submitted by May 10th, 2024. Since then, I have not heard back from IRCC, and it’s beginning to worry me. I don’t think the security check should take that long. I was expecting a maximum of 2 months for the check before moving to the next stage. I hope all is well!

We are almost in the same situation. Did you submit additional documents through the "Webform" or "IRCC account"?
 
I submitted 16 May through Webform and am still waiting. They asked me for biometric fees.
What did they ask you? It might be the cause of the delay.

I paid my biometric fee along the application fee, so i wasn't asked for the fee, i was only asked to provide more clearance on the dates on my previous works... apparently there was a mix up which i have corrected.
