Dear Friend,
Is there anybody know " Can I renew my biometrics to extend validity of an approved tourist visa while I am in Canada?"
As a brief background about my situation:
-My previous biometric was September 2014
-I applied for tourist visa in March 2023.
-It was accepted in May/June 2023 but my tourist visa is valid till September 2024 because the validity of biometric expires in September 2024.
As I provided biometric in 2014, I was not asked to provide Biometric again for the tourist visa but my visa is valid till September 2024. they also sent me "validity of your biometric information " e-letter.
"However, if you wish to extend the validity of your permit or visa beyond the validity date indicated above, you can provide your biometric information again and pay the associated fee for another ten-year validity."
I came to Canada February 2024 and I applied for visa extension and at the same time asking for providing biometric but they sent me similar e-letter, "validity of your biometric information" again and give me a letter approving my extension till 28 April 2024!!! less than the duration that I can stay!! :O
Actually a few days ago I found a forum here suggesting to pay the biometric fee and requesting for BIL to add to the application while I am in Canada and sending your request by webform. Still no news from them yet.
Now I do not know what to do If I have done a right things or not.
Thank you so much for your attention and I would like to hearing from you at your kind reply.
Regards,
ntarty
