Studying in Canada

How can I provide my biometrics?

You are required to provide biometrics if you have not done so for an application to come to Canada in the past 10 years (unless exempted).  For more information visit the IRCC website. You can check to see if you already have valid biometrics on file using IRCC's check status tool.  

  • If you are outside Canada and are unable to provide biometrics by the deadline indicated in the instruction letter from IRCC due to unforseen circumstances, you should contact IRCC to request an extension. For information on how to request a deadline extension, visit the IRCC website.
