Hi everyone, I am from Indonesia and I am applying for a study permit to Canada for this coming June. I am doing the application process through online so I could save the trouble of going back and forth to VAC. I am having some troubles though regarding my biometrics requirement.
While logged into my CIC account, my application status under Biometrics state: "We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes." By this, I assume I do not need to have to do my Biometrics. The application status right now says: "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you." and is currently processing my background check
However, I received an email from JKRTAIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca that states: "As an Indonesia passport holder, you are required to provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo) as part of your application. This requirement took effect on December 31, 2018." The email also explains that I have to pay $85 for the fees and I will have to send it back to them for an instruction letter to schedule a biometrics appointment.
What does this mean? Do I have to do the biometrics or not? I thought any instructions would be sent to my CIC account and not through email? Anyone with experience or insight please help!
