A member received their Biometrics Verification Letter (BVL) correspondence twice, with the exact same attachment both times, and wanted to know whether this was normal.
What the thread suggested:- Receiving the same correspondence letter twice with identical attachments is likely a system glitch on IRCC's side, not something specific to your file that indicates a problem.
- This is generally interpreted as a sign your decision is on its way, since receiving a BVL at all typically means your file has reached a certain processing stage.
- If you don't hear anything further within about a week, raise a webform and mention that you received the BVL twice — this can serve as a practical reason to prompt IRCC to take another look at your file, even if the duplicate letter itself isn't inherently concerning.
The practical takeaway: receiving your BVL correspondence letter twice with identical attachments is likely just a system glitch, not a red flag — if you don't get a further update within about a week, raise a webform citing the duplicate letter as a reason to prompt a review.
