Hi @matahari
hope you got your passport back with stamp on it. please update us with latest on passport stamping. how long it took to get back. thanks.

HI,

i have few questions mentioned below. Request you to please share so that i could check accordingly.

> Is this for your Work Permit or Study Permit or PR?
> When did you apply it online and also when did you give your Bio Metrics?
> Which center did they request the passport to be sent?
> Did you get your correspondence letter along with the Passport request? Or did you get the correspondence letter separately after completing your Bio Metrics?
 
I see following from https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...irus-covid19/foreign-workers.html#restriction

Due to the impacts of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we can’t

  • process applications normally
  • provide accurate processing times
We’re prioritizing some applications, including

  • Canadians trying to return to Canada
  • vulnerable people
  • people who perform or support essential services such as agriculture, agri-food, health-care-related occupations.

Maybe that's why most of us are not getting any updates from IRCC after biometrics.

I have given biometrics on July 3rd week and waiting for passport request/correspondence letter etc.

Excellent, congratulations. I don't want to bring your spirits down but looks like it is a never-ending wait after the biometric correspondence is received. I applied in March and did biometrics on 15th, recvd correspondence on 22nd and that's it! There hasn't been any progress since then. I am sincerely hoping people start to get requests for passports.
