I've received my AoR for my PR application and in that file, I paid for the biometric fees (and have my biometric letter--haven't been able to provide them due to covid). Now I'm filling out the BOWP and initially I answered 'No' to the question "Have you submitted biometrics in the last 10 years?" but this leads to them charging me the fees again.
Is it ok if I answer "yes" that I've submitted my biometrics and explain in the letter? Or should I answer "No" and pay again?
Found the answer in this update, which I hadn't read:
Biometrics exemption for temporary residence applicants in Canada
As a temporary measure, you’re exempt from giving biometrics
if you’re both of the following :
in Canada
applying or have an application in progress
to extend your stay as a student, worker or visitor
to restore your status as a student, worker or visitor
for a work or study permit
for a visitor visa
for a temporary resident permit
This exemption applies even if
your application form for a work permit, study permit or visitor visa says it’s for applicants outside Canada
our online application system asks you to pay a biometric fee (CAN$85)
Biometric fee
You don’t have to pay the biometric fee when you submit your application, even if the system tells you to pay it.
If you paid the fee,
we’ll automatically refund the fee once we finalize your application
the online application system will automatically send you a BIL, telling you how to give your biometrics
You do not need to give your biometrics, and you can ignore this letter.
