Canada expands biometric requirements for study permits

Starting in the summer of 2018, when you apply for a visitor visa, study or work permit (except U.S. nationals), or permanent residence you will need to give your fingerprints and a photo. To facilitate repeat travel to Canada, applicants for a visitor visa, study or work permit will only need to give their biometrics once every 10 years.

When you arrive, the Canadian border authorities will check your identity to make sure that you are the same person who was approved to travel to Canada. How this is done will depend on where you enter Canada.

At 8 major Canadian airports: your fingerprints will be checked automatically at a primary inspection kiosk. the system will check your identity against the information collected when your application was submitted

At smaller airports and all land ports of entry: your fingerprints may be checked if referred to a secondary inspection, where a border services officer will use a fingerprint verification device to check your fingerprints.

Visitors, student and workers
If you pass the identity check and meet the entry requirements, the border services officer will stamp your passport or let you know how long you can stay in Canada. You are normally allowed to stay in Canada for up to 6 months.

In some cases, the officer may limit or extend your time in Canada to cover the planned purpose of your visit. Ask questions if you are not sure about something.
