I applied for my parents sponsorship on Dec 22, 2022 and yesterday i got a letter for my mother to do Biometrics. But my father did not get it. Today i received an email saying that i am eligible to sponsor my parents etc......Now i am wondering
1) Did anyone of you got the biometrics request just for one parent?
2) Should i wait for the biometric request for my father too and then ask them to travel to get their biometrics done? Since i received the reqeust on May 16, 2023, CIC had given my mother 30 days to do the biometrics. But they are old and cannot travel alone for 8 hours in train.
3) Can we request to send the biometrics to my dad by email?
4) Can we extend the request for more than 30 days? what happens in that case?
Any help appreciated.

Actually I receive two separate emails for parents, each have been individually
And if your father did provide biometrics within 10 years before, I would call them and ask or check CIC website, if you linked your account!
And check spam folder as well might be there
Thanks Nay.
No father never provided biometrics before. Is it advisable to wait for few minutes and then start the process?
How did you do the process if you received in separate emails? did you call cic to change (or) your parents went 2 separate times?

How old is your father ? If > 79 yrs then biometrics not needed .
Otherwise just wait for 2nd email .
oh wow good to know vic. He is 82.
So we dont need to wait, as Father might not get the biometrics. Is this a right?

As far I understand from IRCC site
Biometrics not needed for > 79 yrs old .
edit : I would say no need to wait based on his age
but I am no expert on the issue - sorry .
