Biometrics

General

• Can I go to a port of entry to give biometrics if it’s closer than a Service Canada location?
• I am from Asia, Asia Pacific or the Americas and have applied for a visa, work or study permit, or for permanent residence before December 31, 2018, but my application is still being processed. Do I have to give my biometrics?
• Will it take longer to process my application because I have to give biometrics?
• If my visa, work or study permit application is refused, will I have to give biometrics for my next application?
• If I’m in Canada, do I have to give my biometrics?
• Do I need to give my biometrics to visit Canada if I’m in the United States and I’ve already given my biometrics when I entered the U.S.?
