Hi Everyone,

- I am a resident in Bahrain and under the process of filling up the E-APR. With the new bio-metric requirement coming in, when i looked for centers in Bahrain it came to my attention that there is none over here.I am going to be flying to Dubai in the coming week to attend a family function, would it be possible to do it over there in advance ??

Please advise.Thanks

Hi, I also have the same problem.. our visa is done and were flying on Sunday but still we didn’t receive BIL. Im a bit worried maybe problem will come up in the immigration. As I went to VSF in Dubai they said I need to have a BIL before they can do my biometrics.

From my experience you need to have the BIL, otherwise you CANNOT submit fingerprints, they were very strict about this in my case.

The reason my BIL took weeks to arrive was because I hadn't paid the right fee, that extra fee specifically for biometrics, perhaps this is why your BIL is not coming?

I read somewhere on CIC's website something about you don't need Biometric if you applied before a certain period. that might be your case.

Help! Did everyone received their BIL now? We haven’t received the BIL yet. We didn’t pay it when we applied since it is not indicated in the checklist. How to follow up because we might reach the deadline of the submission of biometrics.

You can raise case specific enquiry or highly recommend you call CIC as thats what worked for me. I raised multiple CSE's however only when i called them after 3 weeks and immediately on the next day i received by BIL.

Its completely normal.So just make sure you inform them.
