Biometric Instruction Letter

Dear Helder Zau,
This letter refers to your application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for one of the
following documents:
• temporary resident permit;

• work permit;
• study permit;
• temporary resident visa;
• visitor record;
• permanent resident application; or
• permanent resident card renewal.
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.
Why is IRCC collecting my fingerprints and photograph?
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
more information about why the Government of Canada collects biometrics, how it uses your information and
how it protects your privacy, please visit:

Important Information
You have 30 days from the date of this letter to present yourself at a biometric collection
service point to give your biometrics:
You must visit a biometric collection service point to have your fingerprints scanned and
photograph taken on or before May 14, 2023 . If you do not comply, your application may
be refused. If your application is refused, you will have to submit a new application and pay the
applicable fees.
If you cannot provide your biometric information (photograph and/or fingerprints) or if you need
more than the 30 days, please complete a webform at
https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp and provide a detailed explanation.
If you have injuries or medical conditions:
Some injuries and medical conditions may affect your ability to provide your ten (10) fingerprints or
photograph. If you have a temporary injury or condition on your face and/or hands, you should wait
until the injury heals or condition improves before you give your biometrics. If you have a
permanent injury or medical condition on your face or hands, your photograph will still be taken and
you will be asked to provide as many fingerprints as possible.
If you hold multiple citizenships:
You must use the same travel document throughout the application process, including when you
go to a biometric collection service point to give your biometrics. You must also use the same
travel document upon arrival in Canada.
