CEC - Biometrics

[neiljosh]

Hello,

I have a question on the need for biometrics.

I gave Biometrics in Mar 2019 for my Work permit application. I moved to Canada the next month. I have now received my CEC PR nomination.

Do i need to give Biometrics again for my PR application as well?

No need to give biometrics again as your biometrics are still valid up to 10 years from March 2019.

Is biometrics and Canadian PCC the same?
In Canadian PCC we give fingerprint and photo

Yes, you will have to. Biometrics given for WP doesn't account for PR application.

What about Canadian PCC.
biometric and PCC are they same

No, both are different. I'm not sure of the steps to obtain them.

Even to obtain Canadian PCC we need to give fingerprint and photo

Hi, got the biometrics collection letter on May 7 and since Services Canada are closed would it be possible to ask them to proceed with the ones I gave for work permit application (Valid till 2029). Thanks

Yes, you MUST give biometrics again.

No need to give biometrics again as your biometrics are still valid up to 10 years from March 2019.

While that is true (10 year validity) , biometrics taken for Temporary Residence (TR) applications such as Work or Study permits are NOT valid towards Permanent Residency (PR) application.

On the contrary, you CAN use biometrics taken for PR for TR applications.

They will not, you will have to wait until you can have those. You are now automatically given 90 days to complete this, so there is no rush.

No they are not, its a whole different thing.

PCC are usually done through third parties which then send the fingerprints to the RCMP for comparison against their fingerprint database.

FWIW I gave my biometrics when I applied for a work permit at the border in 2018. I used the same biometrics for my PR application last year and I'm currently waiting for my CoPR.

It changed. The BIL states that the applicants need to give new biometrics even when they already have a valid one for other types of immigration applications. Cheers!
