Temporary resident visa process for South Africans

[yach28]

Hi all. Hoping someone can share info on how to get a temporary resident visa for South African family wanting to visit Canada. Is it electronic and do SA citizens have to do biometrics in Pretoria now? I believe ruling has changed since July 2018. Any help is much appreciated thanks!

Yes, you must give your biometrics at any VAC/VFS (Cape Town or Pretoria)
