Visa Application Centers in India resume biometric appointments

The High Commission of Canada in India has informed that the Visa Application Centers (VACs) in Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Bengaluru are open for biometric appointments. However, the service will be limited and priority will be given to Family Class applicants and Study Permit principal applicants. Starting from December 2, candidates of the same categories may submit their biometrics details at the Visa Application Centres in Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune.
The candidates must note that VACs do not entertain walk-in clients and prior appointments have to be made before coming to VACs. Those candidates who have submitted their applications under the priority categories will receive a biometric instruction letter from the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada(IRCC). They need to carry this letter with them when they come for biometric appointments at the VACs.

Those candidates, who have already received a unique Biometric Instructions Letter (BIL) from the IRCC, will further receive an email with additional instructions on how to appear for biometric appointments.
For categories other than family class and study permit, biometric enrolment will not be accepted until further notice. The VACs will also not accept paper applications as for the time being.
