Where to give your fingerprints and photo (biometrics)
On this page
Temporary changes to biometrics
Book your biometric appointment as soon as you can to avoid processing delays.
If you can’t book an appointment by the deadline on your biometric instruction letter, there may be measures in place to help you.
Biometrics collection service disruptions
If your biometrics collection site is not open due to COVID-19, there are temporary measures in place for biometrics.
Designated Service Canada offices
Service Canada offices have resumed biometrics collection services for permanent residence applicants who need to give biometrics and haven’t given them within the last 10 years.
You can make your appointment to give biometrics using the eServiceCanada Appointment Booking Tool. Don’t go to a Service Canada office unless you have a scheduled appointment.
Visa application centres (VACs) and U.S. Application Support Centers (ASCs)
Many VACs and ASCs have reopened.
Before you go:
- You may need to wear a mask and follow other health and safety rules—be prepared.
- Check the VAC or ASC website to make sure it’s open.
- VACs
- Find out what to do if your local VAC is closed
- ASCs
- All visitors 2 years of age or older who have not been fully vaccinated must wear face coverings.
- Don’t travel from another country to go to an ASC; you must already be legally in the U.S. to go to an ASC.
- You cannot enter an ASC facility if you’ve returned to the U.S. from international travel in the past 10 days. Learn more about the ASC COVID-19 visitor policy.
- VACs
Find out what to do if you can’t give your biometrics due to COVID-19.
