The help icon next to it leads to another page http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics.asp I guess this will answer all your questions, and since this is new, I don't think anyone will know what's the process. However, when I applied for visit visa to Canada they captured my biometrics while submitting my passport in the VAC, so I am guessing it would be the same process if it was required.I don't understand and I cannot check it because the access is exclusive to my rep. but were any nationalities listed ? Is this a new procedure ? How are we supposed to know ? Will we get any message or alert ?
