Biometrics collection for in-Canada TRV applicants to be temporarily cancelled
According to the update by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on July 14, 2020, temporary resident applicants who currently reside in Canada will be exempt from the biometrics collection requirement. This temporary measure is aimed at reducing risks of infection with the COVID-19. The exemption applies only to those who are applying from within Canada and is not including in-Canada permanent residence applicants. At the same time, biometrics collection at Service Canada is still unavailable. IRCC once again emphasized that no application will be refused due to the missing biometrics.
