Biometric Data Collection
Biometrics will be collected using a quick, discreet and non-intrusive process that captures a facial image with a photo scanner and a 10-digit fingerprint scan with a digital finger scanner...
As a result, representatives from the Consulate General of Canada in New York could not facilitate the Biometric Identification Process for Canadian Visa Applicants in Bermuda.
Specific identification criteria are mandatory for some individuals applying for a Canadian visitor visa, work or study permit, or permanent residency in Canada.
A request to submit your biometrics is usually the last step before receiving your visa.
Although the document does not say it, its generally accepted that your visa has been approved so the Canadian Government has requested that you submit your biometrics.
Due to the ongoing partnership with the Consulate General of Canada, Biometric collection will take place in Bermuda on the 6th and 7th of June. “ I would like to thank the Consulate General of Canada for continuing this service”, said the Minister of Economy and Labour, the Hon Jason Hayward.
