For the 'Mother' from March 03, 2025 onwards: The biometric information has been updated in the 'Applicant information' section such as Biometrics number, Date of biometrics enrolment, and, Expiry date. However, the detailed application status under 'Biometrics' still shows: "We need your fingerprints to process your application."... Same reflects in the IRCC Application Status Tracker (https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en) for biometrics status as "In progress".
