12月3日,移民局网站发出公告:即日起,在加拿大境内提交的学签、工签、Visitor Record等申请都要进行生物信息采集,具体的生物识别信息可能包括:指纹识别、面部识别、掌形识别、虹膜识别、视网膜扫描等。今天小编就来说一下移民局的最新要求。
先来看一下移民局官网相关通知的截图:
并且列明以下的在加拿大境内提交的申请都需要进行生物信息采集:
- visitor visa
- 学签或工签
- 永久居民申请
- 难民或庇护
- visitor record
- 学签或工签续期
如果你是需要提供生物信息的申请人,特别是申请Visitor Visa,工签或学签,必须在提交相关申请的同时,把生物信息一并提交。
但是如果申请人在过去10年内,在申请Visitor Visa、工签或学签时提交了生物信息,并且上述签证还有效,那么在进行新的申请时,并不需要再次进行生物信息采集。因此,在以上申请中提供一次生物信息的有效期为10年。
若是提交加拿大永久居民申请,即使在之前申请学签或工签等时已经提交过生物信息,都要再次进行生物信息采集。
但如属于以下人群,则不需要进行生物信息采集:
- 加拿大公民或持永久居民身份人士
- 持有效电子旅行证(eTA)来加拿大旅游的免签证国家的公民
- 年龄少于14岁的儿童及年龄超过79岁的长者
- 国家首领、内阁大臣等
- 来自其他国家及联合国,且因公务前往加拿大的内阁成员和经认可的外交官
- 美国签证持有者经加拿大转机
- 已经提供了生物识别信息的难民申请学签或工签
- 已经为申请永久居民提供了生物识别信息,该申请尚在审理过程中申请小签

生物信息采集的步骤:
Step1:付费
(个人申请费用为$85加币;多个家庭成员同时申请最高费用为$170;3人或以上及表演团体申请工签,最高费用为$225),并且必须在提交申请时缴费,否则申请的审理将会被延迟;
Step2:收到确认信
当申请人付费后,将会收到确认信并且告知将可以进行生物信息采集的地点。根据确认信,选择采集地点,并在进行网上预约。
Step3:前往指定的生物信息采集地点
必须是申请人本人亲自前往,并记得带同确认信以及有效的护照。为了达到最好的生物信息采集效果,申请人最好不要有美甲,手指损伤,刮痕等;须穿鲜艳的衣服;整个面部五官需清晰可见。
