Where will I go to have my fingerprints and photograph taken?

You will be able to have your fingerprints and photograph taken at more than 70 locations around the world and in biometric collection points of service in the United States.

Most applicants will go to a visa application centre (VAC) to have their fingerprints and photograph taken. Citizenship and Immigration Canada is adding new VACs at various locations around the world to make it easier for you to do so.

We will have more information on biometric service points in the coming months. Visit this website in spring 2013 for updates.
