If you’re in Canada and you apply for a visitor visa, study permit, work permit or permanent resident visa or status, you don’t have to give your biometrics untilwe open collection centres in Canada in 2019.
When the new collection centres are open in Canada, you’ll have to give biometrics for your next application, including a renewal or an extension.
So until they have these collection centred open you don't have to give biometrics.
