Schedule with VSF for Biometric information - automatic or appointment needed?

[mcgyver]

Hi,

I, as a PR holder, invited my mother to visit me in Canada. She is applying for a temporary resident visa.

I would like to know whether instructions will be sent out by IRCC to her email address at some point during application processing in order to provide VSF with bio-metric information or an appointment should be proactively sought by her with VSF to do so?

Haha, I got the answer myself. She applied and a notification message came to her email address that she had a message from IRCC. Then she logged in to her myCIC account to get details of that message. As per the contents of the message, she was given 30 days to visit a VAC in order to submit bio-metric information. She was asked to take with her a printout of the message and her passport to a VAC.
