Citizenship and Immigration Canada says biometrics on Canadian visas will significantly contribute to Canada’s efforts to reduce identity fraud and ensure the safety and security of Canadians.
When the project is fully implemented, people applying for a Canadian Temporary Resident Visa, Canadian Study Permit or Canadian Work Permit will be required to provide Canadian immigration with their digital fingerprints and have their photo taken in person before they arrive in Canada.
Last week, a number of Canadian universities at the Canadian Bureau for International Education annual conference discussed the move to biometrics, which is seen by many as a measure that will introduce delays to the Canadian Study Permit application process.
The Canadian Visa Bureau is an independent consulting company specialising in helping people with Canadian Immigration services.
