Hi.. I was asked earlier like 10 days ago to submit biometrics for TRV but in India biometrics were closed for TRV but now I am asked biometrics for family Sponsor Residency. Earlier I wasn’t able to give biometrics for TRV. My question was that Now I will be giving biometrics for Family sponsorship and if that can be used for TRV. Thank you.
Okay - when you wrote earlier "I got biometrics request for my PR residency can I use those for Visitor Visa which I have applied earlier" - you meant that you wanted them to use the biometrics for your TRV application, which biometrics you also did not give?
You can see, perhaps, that your explanation is confusing? You would either have to give biometrics for one, or both, of your pending applications, and haven't given them at all?
Strangely, they still seem to require them.
The answer to your question, to the extent I understand your question, is: usually IRCC requires separate biometrics for all PR applicants. During covid, they have announced that they will use biometrics given previously for other purposes such as TRV for PR - this is a temporary measure.
But those that have never given biometrics will still need to give them, both for TRV and for PR.
So those that have never given biometrics and have applied for PR and TRV, will have to give them.
If they can't given them because the centres are closed, they'll either wait or - better- write and tell them why so that there's no confusion.
