Hi guys, just trying to understand the biometrics exemption thing.
I gave my biometrics for work permit before.
How do I proceed now with my ita? I just don’t pay the fees for biometrics and that is that?

You will pay along with the application fees. When your application is complete, the $85 will be refunded to you. There is no option to skip the payment for now.

Hi, that’s weird as I read the following:


Biometric fee
Applicants should not pay the biometric fee (CAN$85) for a new application for permanent residence, even if the system asks them to pay it when they submit their application.
