PR β The Government of Canada is pleased to announce that Canadian officials will be in Grenada from 16 to 20 August 2022 to carry out biometric processing for persons wishing to obtain visas.
As part of the visa application process, Grenada nationals must provide biometric information (fingerprints andΒ a photo) when applying for a Canadian visitor visa, study, work, or temporary residence permit, or for permanentΒ residence. During the upcoming August dates, Grenada visa applicants may take the opportunity to provideΒ biometric information in Grenada rather than travelling abroad. Outside of this visit, standard procedures remainΒ for Grenada nationals to travel to biometrics collection points in Barbados, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and theΒ Grenadines, or Trinidad and Tobago at all other times.
If you are planning to travel to Canada for study, business, tourism, family reunions or other reasons, pleaseΒ complete your online visa application as soon as possible in order to take advantage of this opportunity in August.
This exercise is geared towards the following individuals:
- Grenada nationals who anticipate travel to Canada;
- Persons who have already applied whether online or by mail for a visa, work or study permit or forΒ permanent residence and have received their Biometric Instruction Letter; and
- Nationals of other biometric information-required countries residing in Grenada planning to travel toΒ Canada.
In order to book an appointment for biometrics collection, please write to BDGTN-VISA@international.gc.ca.Β All applicants will be required to bring their Biometrics Instruction Letter and passport with them toΒ their appointment in order to have their biometrics taken.Β
Canadian officials will be pleased to assist applicants who have both appointments and the required Β Biometrics Instruction Letter during the hours listed below. Officials will not be collecting applications or Β biometric information from applicants who have not received this letter.
Please note the cutoff date for scheduling an appointment is Wednesday, August 10, 2022. We will not beΒ able to accommodate appointment requests after that date, unless we receive cancellations.Β Β
The biometrics collection will take place from 08:30 to 17:30 on Tuesday, August 16, Wednesday, AugustΒ 17, Thursday, August 18, Friday, August 19, and a half day on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at the RadissonΒ Hotel in the meeting room.
