バイオメトリクス料金（Biometrics fee）

You do not have to pay the biometric fee when you submit your application, even if the system tells you to pay it.

If you paid the fee,

・we’ll automatically refund the fee once we finalize your application
・the online application system will automatically send you a biometric instruction letter (BIL) telling you how to give your biometrics
　　　- You do not need to give biometrics, and you can ignore this letter.

永住申請者のバイオメトリクス期限の延長
(Extension of biometrics deadline for permanent residence applicants)

No application will be refused or closed if you aren’t able to give your biometrics within the period indicated on your BIL. This applies to you, even if your BIL says you have 30 or 90 days.

You don’t have to contact us for this extension, and you don’t need a new BIL to make another appointment when sites reopen. Bring your original BIL to your new appointment to show proof of payment.

While biometrics collection is temporarily suspended at Service Canada locations, do not go to another biometrics collection point, including

・Canadian ports of entry (POEs)
・other international biometrics collection sites

When Service Canada resumes collecting biometrics, you’ll have to make a new appointment at a designated Service Canada office. You won’t need a new BIL.

(Biometrics collection outside Canada)

If the site closest to you is closed, we’ll automatically extend your deadline to give your biometrics.

You don’t have to contact us for this extension, and you don’t need a new BIL to make another appointment when sites reopen. Bring your original BIL to your new appointment to show proof of payment.

バイオメトリクスサービスが再開したとき
(When biometrics collection sites reopen)

When biometrics collection resumes, you can give your biometrics, even if you can’t travel to Canada yet. VACs and ASCs are starting to reopen slowly.

Keep visiting canada.ca/biometrics for updates on when biometrics collection will start again. You should book an appointment as soon as the site closest to you starts offering the service again.
