Where to give your fingerprints and photo (biometrics)

COVID-19: Exemptions to the biometrics requirements

As a temporary measure, we’ve made some changes to biometrics requirements. You’re exempt from the requirement to give your biometrics if you

are in Canada and are applying to work, study or stay temporarily in Canada
are applying or have applied for permanent residence and have given biometrics within the last 10 years

Find out more about changes to biometrics requirements due to COVID-19.

Biometrics collection service disruptions

Your application won’t be refused or closed if you can’t give your biometrics due to COVID-19 service disruptions.

Designated Service Canada offices

Service Canada offices have resumed biometrics collection services for permanent residence applicants who need to give biometrics and have not given them within the last 10 years.

As of November 30, 2020, you can make your appointment to give biometrics using the Service Canada Appointment System. Don’t go to a Service Canada office unless you have a scheduled appointment.
