Hi. Hope all is well with you
I have a little query and it is confusing me alot
I have applied Canadian study visa through SDS after paying application and biometric fee IRCC sent BLI letter for biometric
But the thing is my consultant already had booked an appointment for medical from IOM
Please i need some guidance on that.
Biometric data collection is a mandatory requirement by the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for applicants in the Student Direct Stream (SDS) program. Once a visa application has been submitted under SDS, the IRCC may request the applicant to undergo biometric data collection as part of the application process. It is important to note that upfront medical examinations are also a mandatory component of the SDS application process.
Thank you but embassy didn’t asked for medical yet on my portal just asked biometrics
