An applicant asked what to do when a friend's SDS (Student Direct Stream) study permit application hadn't generated a biometric request after about a month.
What the thread advised:- Submit a webform to the relevant visa application centre (in this example, the Bangalore centre) to request the biometric letter — one member received theirs after 36 days specifically after raising a webform.
- You may need to submit more than one webform — the same member submitted two webforms before getting their letter.
- A webform is generally the only effective way to prompt this, and members reported receiving the biometric letter within about 10 days of raising one.
Takeaway: if biometrics haven't come through after a few weeks, don't just wait — submit a webform to your visa application centre, and be prepared to follow up with a second one if the first doesn't get a response within about 10 days.
