Hi everyone,

I live in the US right now. I received a letter saying I need to get my biometrics collected (finger print collection) and I only have 3 months to do so.

At this moment most of the immigration offices are closed due to the COVID-19. What should I do and where should I go for fingerprint collection? I only have 3 months but I am not sure if the COVID-19 thing will be over after next 3 months.

Anyone had experience with this?

"All biometrics appointments in Canada and the United States (Application Support Center) are cancelled until further notice

You’ll have to make a new appointment at a Service Canada office or a U.S. Application Support Center (ASC) when they start collecting biometrics again.

Walk-in biometrics collection is not available at any Service Canada office or ASC. Check the ASC page for updates on closures.

You now automatically have 90 days (instead of 30) to submit your biometrics. You don’t need to request this extension."
