BIOMETRICS

[vermas]

I am sponsoring my parents from India under PGP 2019. They will arrive here in Canada in August 2019 on Visitor Visas and stay for at least 6 months. They also have US visitor visas.

If they receive biometrics instruction while in Canada, can they enter USA and give biometrics at a listed US Application Service Center or a VAC?

Kindly share your thoughts and experience.

I am in a same situation. There should be some biometric center in Canada or they should accept Visitor visa biometrics submissions. Not sure what to do, Also call CIC but they have very long wait. Any help is highly appreciated?

Biometrics can be done in the US but no one here can guarantee they will be allowed into the US to do it.

No biometrics in Canada. People must go to another country to do it.

Yes given process is possibly set up to assume applicants are in the majority applying from outside Canada.

I am in the same boat. Not sure if anyone was able to get the bio-metrics done by visiting USA. My mom has the USA visitor visa and I hope she can skip going back to India just for the Bio-metrics.

Many have been able to go to the US for biometrics.

I took my parents to Buffalo ASC and it was very smooth.
