    Can I renew my biometrics to extend validity of an approved tourist visa?

    I sent two Web Forms: For the first one, I answered yes to "Do you want to add a document to an existing file/application?"

    Can I renew my biometrics to extend validity of an approved tourist visa?

    It's confusing I agree! The "Online Services" account is different from the "IRCC secure account". They are not linked in any way. So yes, I had to create a new account. When you send the Web Form with the receipt and the instructions letter, that's where you have to give your UCI and...

    Can I renew my biometrics to extend validity of an approved tourist visa?

    Thanks for your answers. In my case, it is for a visitor visa. The only option/question related to biometrics was when the application asked if I had given biometrics in the past ten years (which I have). Same situation as the OP. Now that I am asked to send my passport, I got another letter...
