Asak,

I want to know the actual procedure to give Bio-metric in Karachi for Canadian visitor visa.
Should I have to take appointment for that or NOT.

Thank you
 
so if you apply online, you do not need an appointment. I applied on July 21. On July 22, got a letter in email. They told me to print that and go to nearest center here:
http://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/Pakistan/contact_us.html

I went to the lahore one. You can go to the Karachi one. Only person who goes inside is who is relevant. so if you go with a friend or relative. They won't let them inside. It took about an hour for the whole process. They took a picture and finger prints.

If you are applying in person, this procedure happens when you go to submit documents. You may also call vsf before you actually go if you have any questions.
 
I applied online and they update my profile for BioMetric. Kindly guide me what other documents I must present with print out of PDF file?
Btw thanks for your above information.
 
All I needed was the letter they sent in my online profile regarding biometric (print that) and the travel doc (passport). Thats is it my friend!
 
I got the request from CIC to get the biometrics. I tried to schedule an appointment online but it didn't seem to work. I called the number provided on VFSGlobal and they kept saying that there can't schedule an appointment and we don't have information as to when is one going to open up. I have sent an email to the emails provided.
I'm very frustrated at this.

Has anyone tried to give biometrics recently in Lahore or Pakistan so to speak? Need help in this.

Hey - this system is rigged by our gentleman's...
You won't believe that these ppl create fake email id's and booked all the appointments under there name's then they try to sell these appointments in black to the ppl who's looking for an appointment. sometimes they sell these in 30k to 100k

The best way to have done your booking is to register yourself online(VFS) and then try to look for online booking in between 4pm to 6pm. Because this is the high time when these bastards cancelled there upcoming bookings under there names and tried to create under the names whom they took bribe.
 
Holy Fuck*** shit. This is fucked up.

It didn't make any sense bro. They kept saying that everything is booked and they can't tell us when the next appointment will be open.

I'll try to work how you suggested. Thanks.

Yeah bro... it's a mess.. n was quite shocking for me too when I get to know all this - as had recently a practical experience

m hoping you will be quite well aware of that how you need to create the online appointment - if you need any help in this regards pls let me know

To have a booking you need to be sign-in all time and continuously check in that time range and sometimes @ 9pm as well because when I was trying to do all of a sudden multiple spots got opened and I was lucky enough that I got the spot right after couple days. and within half n hour was all gone again.
Hope this helps! :)
 
Yea bro thanks.

I'll try to do this.

Regards.

Sounds great - Good luck buddy! :)

I got lucky today. Out of no where I tried around after 3pm . All slots for Lahore and Islamabad were open up till 31st December. I scheduled my appointment for Lahore.

I checked after 15 minutes, all slots which were green were gone. I guess the trick is to try on Monday after 3 pm. Other than this, you will not be able to find an appointment during the rest of week.

Regards.
