On September 15, 2020, IRCC announced that Service Canada Centres are gradually resuming their biometrics collection services for Permanent Resident applicants who have received a biometrics instruction letter.

A Service Canada officer will call the applicant at the telephone number they provided in their Permanent Residence application to schedule an appointment. Service Canada is prioritizing applicants who have been waiting the longest to give their biometrics, based on the date their application was submitted. Applicants will not need to pay an additional fee. Biometrics collection services are currently only available for Permanent Residence applicants who have been contacted in this manner.

If you have any questions about the biometrics requirement for Permanent Residence applications or about the Permanent Residency application process in general, do not hesitate to contact one of our lawyers at Borders Law Firm.

I and my family want to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Devika, John and the team at Borders Law firm for assisting us with the PRTD application at a time when most processing was closed due to lockdowns. They also worked proactively with us to establish a good strategy with back up plans which gave us sufficient information and assurance. Very responsive and forthcoming with information. Proactive in processing but at the same time they put enough time in the application and the supporting details to have high quality of the application. As a result our application was processed in 1 go at a time when it was critical and sensitive time for the family. Thank you again.

I had a very good experience with Borders Law Firm. Though my PR file was a bit complicated, Brendan, Andres and Devika worked extremely well in a thorough and perfect manner. I was so happy when my PR application was processed in a record-breaking 45 days, thanks to the meticulous handling of my case by the lawyers.
