Applicants for Canada visas from India can now submit their biometrics
Biometrics must be submitted as part of the visa application procedure for those intending to travel to Canada for job, study, migration, or even tourism. You can take guidance from an immigration consultant in India to clear all the doubts.
Foreign nationals asking for a visitor's visa, a study or work permit, refugee or asylum status, permanent residency, a visitor's record, or an extension of a study or work permit must submit biometrics in most cases.
People who fall into this category must submit their fingerprints, a photograph, and pay a fee. Biometrics are collected in Canada to swiftly and precisely identify the identification of foreign visitors so that they can enter the nation.
VFS Global recently announced that ‘'...Canada visa applicants who have completed their visa application under Economic PR (E or EP) can register biometrics at Canada Visa Applications Centres in India, starting February 24, 2021."
VFS Global assists Indian visa applicants with support services for Canadian visas. It operates a network of Canada Visa Application Centres (VACs) throughout India.
These VACs collect biometric information from visa applicants while also providing administrative help. A visa applicant must, however, schedule an appointment with the local VAC before submitting his biometrics. This meeting can be scheduled online.
Aside from collecting biometrics from PR visa applicants under the economic programmes, the VACs will also collect biometrics from visa applicants in the following categories:
- Family class priority
- Students
- Workers
- Returning students and workers
Returning students and workers must schedule an appointment in advance using their old study or work permit application number, which will be included in the new permit paperwork, and submit the number, which will begin with a S or W.
When going to the VAC to submit his biometrics, the applicant must have his valid permission document and their Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL) to establish their position as a Returning student or worker.
Biometrics are an important part of the visa application process in Canada. This vital procedure must be followed in order to obtain the required visa for the country.
You are advised to take the help of best consultants for your Canada PR application process from India. The best consultants will be the ones with:
- ICCRC certification
- Enough experience
- Awards and certification
- Complete transparency
Keep in mind the above mentioned points and choose the best Canada immigration consultants.
