I received today for request of Biometric Payment. And UCI # & Application Number. What does it mean? Is this considered to be AOR?

I have submitted my application under PNP-NON-EE on September 25, 2024. And I was informed to link my application with IRCC account.

They have mentioned the biometric number after payment. And I can't understand if I need to go for Biometric or Not.

Here is the whole status:
Review of eligibility
  • We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results
  • You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.
Review of additional documents
  • We need additional documents to process your application. We will send you a letter or email with details.
Interview
  • You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics
  • We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check
  • Not applicable.
Final decision
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
No, you don't need to go for your biometrics yet. they will reach out to you indicating that they you to go complete your biometrics. Same happened with me, they sent me a request to pay for my biometrics and they sent the AOR at the same time. Since than I haven't heard anything from them, called them a few times to ensure that they have recieved my payment and they confirmed that they have recieved it.

Hi - Not sure if anyone knows, at what point background checks actually start? So, in our case, here are the timelines:

Jun 19’24 - PR application
Aug 26’24 - Biometric done
Sep 24’24 - RPRF fee & AOR
Nov 19’24 - Medical done
Nov 20’24 - Pre-Arrival Letter
Since then, no updates

Not sure if checks may have started after Biometric or PAL.
Apparently, the last I spoke with them they stated there is no specific order to this as I reached out to them regarding my biometrics. They asked me to pay for my biometrics in October, since then haven't heard from them called them a few weeks ago to ensure they are not missing anything on my end, they stated that they are conducting my background checks first and they still haven't reached out to me for my biometrics or medical.
