I applied on aug 15 for experienced class express entry and received a letter requesting biometrics today. But I already gave the biometrics for my work permit on 2019 April. I did pay biometrics fees twice(one for work permit application and other for express entry)
Should I give biometrics again?

Anyone please replay.

The policy exemption is still in effect, so you won’t need to provide biometrics again. You’ll see your work permit biometrics number. However, some are reporting that even though they’re exempted, their profile still shows that they need to provide bio. The officer has to go in and flip that field to completed.
