When and where did you do your biometrics, and for what purpose?

I got ITA under CEC program. I am working in Canada on WP and already processed biometric when I applied for my WP last year.
I hope same will be valid for PR as well.

You will need to give new biometrics for PR applications. It is a CIC requirement, regardless of biometrics you gave for any previous TRV or Work Permit applications.

You have to give new biometrics I already checked with Cic for my application

Your Biometrics for WP cannot be used towards PR applications.

So YES, you must take and pay for them. That is if you want our application processed.

That's right. The link above confirms you have to redo biometrics. This is why you don't have the option to skip biometrics.
