IMPACT — MEDIUM
The Canadian government recently resumed its requirements for temporary residence applicants to provide biometrics.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Canadian authorities introduced the policy to temporarily exempt individuals applying for temporary residence within Canada from providing biometrics. This policy was implemented in response to COVID-19 pandemic closures and service disruptions at biometrics collection locations across Canada.
BAL Analysis: Canadian authorities resumed the collection of biometrics for temporary residence applicants as the virus situation around the world has improved. Individuals are reminded that if they are required to give biometrics as part of the application process, they must pay the biometrics fee when submitting the application.
