Hi All!

I received a letter to submit my biometrics (fingertips and photo). Although, as I noted, the letter i have to bring with me from IRCC to the biometrics collection center has the wrong country of birth.

I was born in country A, but have citizenship of country B

In the biometrics request letter, my country of birth is B, and citizenship in country B.

I am 100% certain that all the details I submitted have shown that my country of Birth is A and I assume this is a typo from IRCC.

Is that critical? Do I need to urgently request IRCC to update the details and submit the correction?
If yes, how can I contact them? (Didn't find anything helpful online).

Or it's safe to use the letter i have now?

Thanks!

It should not cause any problem giving your biometrics, if it does, contact IRCC to correct the information on your BIL.
