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.
