I have heard that IRCC has cancelled the biometrics requirement for temporary resident applications. Is it for all the applicants or only for those who have applied from within Canada?
-
Yes. There are new guidelines for biometrics in Canada according to public policy from IRCC issued on July 14, 2020. The temporary resident applicants are exempted from the biometrics for all their ongoing application and new applications until further notice. They are exempted if they have applied:
- to extend your stay as a student, worker or visitor
- to restore your status as a student, worker or visitor
- for a work or study permit
- for a visitor visa
- for a temporary resident permit
Biometrics collection services will resume at a later date. You can find detailed information at following link:
