With effect from December 31, 2018, the biometric collection rule is applicable to the temporary and permanent residency visa applicants from Asia, Asia Pacific and America. The biometric collection program is already applicable for the rest of the countries, however, for Asia and America, it started from the 31st last month, i.e. couple of days back.

The biometric system will be new step to the whole immigration process.
Significance of Biometric system
Speaking about the new biometric collection program, Mr. Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship said, "Collecting biometrics from most foreign travellers coming to Canada makes sense on so many levels: it strengthens the integrity of our immigration system, while helping protect the safety and security of Canadians. Not only does biometrics collection give us a reliable, accurate tool to establish a traveller's identity, but it also improves our ability to process applications and the entry of people upon arrival in Canada".
