Biometrics collection

[geovanna]

I'm Brazilian, I'm in Canada as a tourist and offer a postdoctoral fellowship from the University.

I need to apply for Work permit outside, because inside Canada is not possible, I can send my documents all to some office in Brazil or the USA can also be a possibility.

But my question is: will they probably ask me for biometrics, how would I collect this biometrics if I'm not in the country and my passport would have been sent to the office for the Work permit process?

I have been looking for help in Canadian bodies but since this rule of Biometrics is new and the postdoctoral case is not something common, I have not gotten information.

Thank you so much

If you need to give biometrics you would need to leave Canada and go to another country but NOT the US to get your biometrics taken. Did you not get biometrics done to get your visa?

About the rest of the process I believe your institution has to apply for an LMIA excemption for you see https://www.mcgill.ca/gps/postdocs/international/workpermit
