Just a quick heads up, most of applicants who applied before the July 31st 2018 won’t need to give their biometrics. It’s on the official IRCC website right now.

Where did you check on CIC website that its not required for application before July 31st, 2018?
Does not seem to be true.
Please read again.
It says Depending on your nationality, you may need to give your biometrics as soon as this summer
I was asking for a link where it says not required if you applied before 31st July 2108
What an awesome reply.
Dont know why would you be backing a wrong claim by someone. Thats how you guide other people on the forum.
I only thought you didnt know how to read. You also dont have the brain to understand and admit that you might be wrong.
There was a link given above. Folow the link, answer some questions. I got an answer that for the application submitted before July 31, 2018 from outside of Canada biometrics are not required. There are questions re country of origin of the applicant, so I guess the answer to the quesion if biometrics are required can be different.
Play nice, Everyone. 
We need to support each other through this long process.
But also I was looking at the link too and it’s definitely not very clear.
We are applying from Australia and it said something about our specific application biometrics required possibly after December 31st, 2018 but it wasn’t clear if that means that they will ask for that information after that date if you have an ongoing application or if that means only if you were a new applicant applying after that date, biometrics would be required....
I guess we will all learn from the Middle East/Africa/Europe applicants first (July 31st)....as they are starting with those countries...

There is another link to check if biometrics is applicable for your application based on your Nationality
