Correct me if I am wrong but I also think Mexico is the best option for biometrics if your parents are already in Canada and cannot get a visa to the States.

I just found this from their consulate in Toronto website:

"All foreign visitors, regardless of their nationality, traveling to Mexico for tourism, business or in transit to another destination, are exempt from presenting a Mexican visa as long as they have a valid visa issued by any the following countries: Canada, Japan, the United States of America, the United Kingdom or any of the countries comprising the Schengen Area."

This means that if our parents are already in Canada, they would not require to obtain a Mexican visa in order to travel there for biometrics.
Air Canada return flights are showing around $600-$700 per person. If you need to accompany them including Airbnb and ... you are looking at $3000 !!

Thank you @bdidol. I can see my details in the sheet. Appreciate your response. Also - how do we add the signature with the details that you have there?

hi @deleter I like your name

 

[seehat_inder]

The biometric request letter that I received yesterday clearly says that:

Note: If you received this letter you must give your biometrics before coming to Canada and are not eligible to have your fingerprints and photograph taken at a Canadian port of entry. If you are already in Canada, you will have to leave the country to provide your biometrics.

Thank you for the information. I guess they would have given you 30 days for this? Right? Please confirm.

Canada not having biometrics services inside Canada is ridiculous. They have opened biometrics centers all over the world but not in Canada. It will be such a hassle and waste of money to have your parents leaving Canada just for biometrics. It says on Internet that they IRCC gonna start taking biometrics in Canada later in 2019. Any idea when they are going to start this in Canada?

Please update @YULIA-2016
Line #46
Death Certificate of dad and Notice of Assessment for tax years 2016/2017/2018 were requested. Faxed them today.

Can you please let us know if you provide consent to IRCC to pull your information directly from CRA?

That's correct. I just called the consulate office. She said- If you have a valid passport and Canadian visa, you don't require Mexico visa.
But again for 2 people to go from Winnipeg to Mexico for 1-2 days, I am looking at around $3000, which is insane.

Hi everyone,

Anyone submitted their application without birth certificate of sponsor and marriage certificate of parents because of non availability in India received their AOR yet. I submitted affidavits from parents, myself,matriculation certificate and other supporting government documents from India. My application was received at Ottawa on 12th june.
