Anyone provided biometrics from India?

If you talking about fingerprints it has to be done in Canada only.

Is there anyway we can do from India? Anyone done that?

Only Canadian ones are allowed now.

Might be worth reaching out to Red Seal Notary.

They can get your fingerprints submitted from your local police in your country to RCMP according to https://www.redsealnotary.com/services/rcmp-fingerprints-outside-canada/ (and they explicitly list India as one of the countries that they have done it from before).

And their sample app, https://www.redsealnotary.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/InformedConsent_Travel-and-Immigration.pdf implies that they support Canadian citizenship applications - though it's possible that this is old or inaccurate (as they're offering a generic FP service for e.g. employer background checks, supporting US visa applications, Canadian visa and PR apps from overseas, and so on).

Why do they took interview

Identity Check.

Or perhaps ... these folks are sacrificing hard for YOU?

Remember that there's limited space in a public, in-person ceremony and it takes more time to arrange, so there are fewer available. The average count for an in-person ceremony is about 75, and about 52 are held per month. So that's 3900 roughly. Meanwhile for zoom, 224 are held a month with an average count of 135. So that's 30240.

Or maybe they're waiting to fulfill your wishes by finding you an in-person spot before wrapping up your app all at once?

If everyone was duking it out for an in-person ceremony, think about how much longer you'd have to wait. Your wait would be almost eight (8) times as long!

Sounds like an IRCC problem. I'm also Australian and the concept of an online citizenship disgusts us, yet we facilitate in-person ceremonies efficiently and with equal processing times for citizenship applications as Canada. There's lamington cake, biscuits and tea because its an Australian thing to do. And taking photos with new follow citizens.

Why would you not want to?

 

[moscatojuices]

An in-person ceremony didn't matter to me at all, so I was content to accept a zoom version, especially given I know the in-person ceremony really does matter for a lot of people.

Anyway, it sounds like you deserve your wait. Enjoy it, my friend! I enjoyed sitting in my comfy armchair at home and becoming a citizen. The presiding judge didn't even pause to appraise my effort or shame levels.

I deserve a longer wait for constructively expressing my disdain for the concept of celebrating one of the biggest days of one's life online? Why not just have weddings, funerals, wakes and birthdays online too? The hypocrisy. So IRCC won't accept a wedding performed online, but they'll grant a citizenship on the internet? What a joke.

Anyway, sounds like you're a moron. "Deserve a longer wait". You can go enjoy your citizenship, I'll be enjoying my summer in Cairns Australia, Mexico and Punta Cana and collect it when the snow is gone anyway. Makes no diff to me.

 

[moscatojuices]

Thanks for your input. In fairness I had a great day, It appears you may still have a long wait!

And you may have a large weight. Walking and doing things in person is good for your steps and cardio.

Enjoy your citizenship! I'm too busy sitting on an Australian beach, looking at pretty women, sipping cocktails and relishing my arguably more valuable Australian citizenship. Canada is just another to add to the trophy
