The Canadian government has announced that a delegation from Canada will be present in Dominica from March 11 to March 12, 2025. This visit, according to a press release from the High Commission of Canada, is organized to facilitate the collection of biometric data from individuals who have applied for various Canadian visas.<\/p>\n
Specifically, citizens of Dominica applying for a Canadian visitor visa, for the purpose of education, employment, or temporary or permanent residency are required to submit biometric information. This encompasses fingerprints and a photograph. Applicants in Dominica can fulfill this requirement locally during the specified dates, thereby circumventing the need to travel to alternative locations. The usual procedure for Dominicans to provide biometrics involves travel to collection centers in Barbados, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, or Trinidad and Tobago outside of this temporary service.<\/p>\n
Individuals considering a visit to Canada for study, business, tourism, or family visits are encouraged to submit their visa applications promptly. This opportunity is particularly applicable to the following:<\/p>\n
* Dominican citizens planning to travel to Canada.
\n* Individuals who have previously applied, either electronically or via mail, for a visa, work or study permit, or permanent residency and have received a Biometric Instruction Letter.
\n* Citizens of countries other than Dominica that require biometric information, currently residing in Dominica, and intending to travel to Canada.<\/p>\n
To schedule a biometrics appointment, please contact: BDGTN-VISA@international.gc.ca<\/p>\n
Please note that the deadline for booking an appointment is March 5, 2025. Due to limited availability, appointments will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests received after the deadline will only be accommodated if cancellations occur.<\/p>\n
Canadian representatives are prepared to assist applicants who have a scheduled appointment, possess a valid Biometrics Instruction Letter, and present their passport. Officials will not be able to process applications or collect biometric information from those who have not received this letter.<\/p>\n
Biometrics collection will occur at the Fort Young Hotel, located on Victoria Street in Roseau, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM on both March 11 and March 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Canadian government has announced that a delegation from Canada will be present in Dominica from March 11 to March 12, 2025.
