Update on Visitors Visa on 7th September, 2023.
I know from the IRCC website that for visitor visa, I am supposed to provide Biometric once every 10 years and do not need to give my biometrics again until the 10-year period expire.
However, they requested me to provide Biometric Fee Payment of CAD $85 online and attach proof to my application within 7-days or my application may be refused. This seems contradictory to the information on their website.
This was after my application has been in progress since 25th May 2023. I am wondering if they are now going to send me BIL. I know there are no IRCC officers here but has anyone come across this before?
