This letter refers to your application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for one of the
following documents:
Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and its Regulations, you are required to have your
fingerprints scanned and your photograph taken (your biometrics) at a biometric collection service point to help
Visa Officers determine if you may enter or stay in Canada. Most applicants will need to give their biometrics at
a biometric collection service point abroad before they travel to Canada.
Only those who are eligible to apply for a work permit or a study permit at a designated port of entry can give
their biometrics upon arrival.
Your biometric information will be used under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and its
Regulations to determine if you may enter or stay in Canada. Your fingerprints may also be shared with law
enforcement agencies in Canada and may be used for the enforcement of any Canadian or provincial law. For

you will be asked to provide as many fingerprints as possible.
