Are you sure that it is from Government? When you say agent, it's a red flag. I completely doubt on it. Also, for your question, unfortunately, I have never seen such a case where they allow anyone without bio-metrics and passport stamping.

My friend it is a scam for sure. I believe it's none other than your agent who's doing it to get more money from you. BEWARE.

Can you share the Email Address from which you received the email mentioning it ? Is it an Official Email ID?

This Email is provided for applying Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) to return to Canada usually applied at visa application centre. If a VAC is closed, one can submit the documents to this Email ID. However, I haven't came across any mention of Biometric Exemption.

Hi,
Could you please confirm whether your application has been approved after ETA because i have also received the same from IRCC. (Biometric and Stamping exemption) and allowed to travel in canada.
PS-I have also applied through agent.

Not yet. We are waiting on Provincial Nomination. Did you get your nomination or got ITA directly for EE ?
