Biometrics Fee Information Required

[arsalanzia]

Dear All,

I have submit my application on 1st week of November 2018 under spouse visa (Family Class) via courier to embassy but I did not pay Biometrics fee with my application. Can I pay it later or what is the solution now? How can I contact them as I did not receive any email or application number from embassy.
I need your advice to avoid any delays in process time.

Find out if you need to give biometrics
After you submit your application, we’ll send you a letter that says you need to give your biometrics and where to go. You’ll have up to 30 days to go in person to an official biometrics collection service location.

Dear Wakki,
I know that thing which you mentioned but I am asking about I did not pay my biometrics fee with application. I just paid Application fee which is CAD$ 550. My application and documents was delivered on 08-Nov-2018 at Embassy but I did not receive any file number or update.
What to do now how can I contact them?
