You filed your application in December 2018 and biometric information is only requested for Asian applicants starting Jan 1, 2019. So you don't need to provide biometrics unless it is explicitly required by IRCC.Good morning all, so my husband is from the philippines. I know biometric is now required for most asia country. On his gckey account there is a spot for biometric etc but we never gotten a request. Should we just go ahead and pay the fee and do his biometric or should we wait for the request ?!
