Thank you very much, I just got confused.

As a matter of fact, I paid the fee for my big duaghter who was 8 years old several ago but I didn't get a refund.

I just found about this:

Who’s exempt from giving their biometrics
You don’t need to give your biometrics if you’re

  • a Canadian citizen or citizenship applicant (including passport applicants)
  • an existing permanent resident
  • a visa-exempt national coming to Canada to visit only
  • a head of state or head of government
  • an applicant who qualifies for or holds a diplomatic or official visa
  • US visa holder transiting through Canada
  • an applicant applying for a visitor visa, a study permit or a work permit who has already provided biometrics for a permanent resident application that’s still being processed
  • a child under the age of 14
  • an applicant over the age of 79
    • There is no upper age exemption for asylum claimants.
