Biometrics Letter 30 Day Extension

[heaviside1850]

Hello,

We are doing an outland family sponsorship for PR. We just received letter for biometrics and realized we have 30 days to submit biometrics. In our country there is only one office to do this in the capital over and 8 hour drive away. Because of the distance, it's very difficult to travel all the way there just for biometrics. However, 2 weeks after the deadline we have a trip already planned to go to the capital. How likely are we to get an extension to the 30 days if we explain this situation? it would make a big difference to us if we could just have 2 more weeks.
Thanks,

Make a reservation with the VFS office (should be possible), write a webform to IRCC, note the reservation you have, and if possible provide info about that reservation date. To my knowledge they do not cancel apps for minor delays like this.

Thanks, we'll try and hopefully get an extension.

You probably won't hear back before the time of the appointment. Just go ahead and do the biometrics.
