Biometrics Exemptions

[I amGautam]

Hi everyone,

I am from India, and I recently received the Biometrics Collection Letter in the PR application. Canada is waiving biometrics requirements for permanent residence applicants who submitted biometrics in the last 10 years. I have submitted my biometrics on Jun 2019 for a Canadian Visit visa application. But my visit visa was denied stating enough document to prove return to home country was not established.

Am I exempt from giving my biometrics for my PR application? Or is the exemption for those who have given their biometrics in the past 10 years for only another PR application ?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Gautam

Thank you for the your comment @daveishan. Can you please clarify which question is the "yes" applicable? Am I exempt or not?

Yes you are exempted. Find the refusal letter, it has you UCI on it. Use it to check the eligibility of your bio in CIC link.
