Since 2018, Canada has required people applying for a study permit or work permit for Canada to have their biometric data collected, meaning that they must provide their fingerprints and photograph.
To do so, applicants must go to an official Visa Application Centre (VAC).
Note that:
- You may choose to go to any VAC in the world.
- Some countries have several VACs, while others have none. As such, it is sometimes necessary to travel abroad to complete this process.
- Canada provides a list of VACs and their addresses on its website.
Using this official list, we have created a map of VACs around the world to help you visualize where they are.
We always recommend confirming the address of the VAC you wish to visit on the official website of the Government of Canada. VACs may change addresses.
Once collected, your biometric data is valid for 10 years. If you submit another application for a Canadian study or work permit within those 10 years, you can reuse the same biometric data.
If you are already in Canada, you can have your biometric data collected in Canada (see locations).
