I applied for my mother in law and we got biometric request just after 2 days.

They gave us 90 days to submit biometric.

Hope that helps.

Given that VFS India have been closed for visitors for over a year you receive an automatic extension for your biometric until the offices in India open again for biometrics for visitors. In terms of quarantine l would wait yo see when VFS offices open again for visitor biometrics

Hello, not sure if anyone else is in the same situation but my wife is due in September and we're going to apply for her mother's visitor visa. how can we get the biometrics done in India once VACs are open? can it be considered as Critically ill immediate family member residing in Canada?
