We arranged dubai trip for her to get biometrics done.
I have sent my in-law to Dubai to give her Biometrics. Covid test and visa are required to travel to Dubai and costs about 80k-1lakh for 3-4 days travel for 2 people (My in-law needs help so she has to take her son with her to Dubai).
I came across many people posting they timeline here.. I applied for my mother in law too.. applied in july.. what I noticed was people who had Biometrics done even in March for visitor visa didn't get any decision yet.. I think its not the Biometrics thats pending your decision or mine or anybody . Ircc decided not to give visa until somepoint they wanted to have safe travel. Be prepared bud.. hopefully things get better. I had to go through the rough and scary times alone.. had baby in August. not to scare you but let your mind be prepared for that too.
It is very normal in Canada for only the mother and father to be the ones caring for a baby. At the moment only one person can be with you in the hospital. Caring for a baby is very tiring but it is very possible to do so don't worry too much. If you have no experience with a baby a nurse can show you the basics like changing a diaper, swaddling, etc.
