Toronto biometrics visa question

Post Tue Jan 25, 2011 2:16 pm

I have my appointment for my youth mobility application in Toronto this week. Im just wondering, do I need to have my biometrics submitted a few days BEFORE my appointment? Im under the impression that they take your prints just before or during your appointment. Please help! I cant take any more confusion.

Cheers,
Kelly

Your appointment is for your biometrics. In the Toronto location you're able to send all your paperwork to Ottawa where it will be reviewed. Haha I'm going this week as well for my YMS. :o

It doesn't take long. They take a picture of you, take your fingerprints, and then package all your stuff into an envelope to send off to the British High Commission. I just moved to London 3 weeks ago on YMS. It was much easier than expected

It went fantastic. They only needed minimal documentation. I went into the office on the thursday, and received my documents back with my visa on tuesday morning.

Hi,

How long does it take to get biometrics appointment? What is the wait time? If I call today for an appointment, will I be able to get one next week or takes longer? Please share your experiences. Thanks!

Hey PBK,
I had no problem with wait times for my biometric appointment in Toronto. I think you have to book it online after you fill out the online visa application though. :)
My appointment is in the morning, wish me luck!
