Biometrics and Medical while on travel

[cboy585]

I recently received an ITA after OINP approval, and I am planning to submit it in a week. However, I do have travel plans to India in four months. My doubt is that if I submit my application now and travel in December, when will I get a Biometric and medical request, assuming this is all random if that happens during my travel period?

• Do I need to return to Canada to give biometrics or medical, or can I do both from India while my application is Inland?
• If I receive COPR while I'm in India, how long before I can return to Canada to confirm that I am there? Will this impact anything?

How long are you planning to stay in India? if its upto a month, its ok. If its more than that, you might need to update your address to an Indian address and you can always update it to a canadian address once you come back.
also, you can take biometrics and medicals from anywhere as long as its an IRCC approved place.
