Hi guys I did some research on why the Service Canada is still not taking Biometrics.
After all USA has many more active cases and the Application Service Centres there have started taking biometrics.
I am not sure but I think the reason lies in this news article - https://www.biometricupdate.com/202007/clearview-ai-stops-providing-biometrics-service-in-canada-privacy-investigation-still-open
The company which provides the biometrics service to RCMP here in Canada is under investigation for some reason and the biometrics might not start until the investigation is over.
Another update - We can give biometrics in USA too if you have a travel visa for USA. The only problem is Canada-US borders are still closed for non-essential travel. In case it opens we will have a way around our biometrics problem. I tried to book an appointment at the nearest ASC to me in USA and it was possible to do so.
