I was so surprised! They sent us AIP on Sunday around 2pm and then we recieved biometric request for foreign dependents a few hours after that.

I think that due to Covid backlog, agents are working weekends to clear the delay.
Are your parents in Canada? if I am asking because in the middle east the first day of the week is Sunday. If they are in the middle east that makes sense if not this is something new.

My mom (main applicant) is in Canada and my dad (dependent) is in Pakistan. The letter we received was from Mississauga Processing Centre.

My spouse is also in Pakistan. The visa office for your father would be Abu Dhabi if I am correct?
Which documents are asked for your father, could you please share? This way I will know what to expect for my spouse as well.
Thanks

They told us to fill three different forms and send them to the appropriate visa office but other than that there is not much information provided anywhere. If you find out any information, please let me know too.
Thank you. I mailed my application to the visa office in Cairo and for a tracking number that shows the application was forwarded to the IRCC, then within 7 days there is a notification that IRCC sent a decision envelope to the visa office and I have to collect it and I have no clue what the decision is or how I can collect it. I’m afraid they are asking about something or saying they cannot process it now.

So to our surprise, the Visa Office for Pakistan (as mentioned on the website) is Abu Dhabi. However the AIP we recieved says that we need to send documents to London office.

Documents required:

Civil documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate etc)
Passport Page
Police report

Forms required: IMM0008, IMM5406, IMM5669

You should definitely call the helpline and ask! Don't waste any time.

Thank you so much for listing the documents. Really appreciate your help.
Indeed, it used to be the Abu Dhabi office. Thanks again.
