Hello, are we required to provide Fingerprints for canadian visa? Do we go to a designated ASC in US to provide the fingerprints.?

Yes, you need to go to the local ASC center to provide biometrics if you are applying for UK or Canada visa.

Do you know how long do they take to send the letter for biometrics after you apply?

@musya, i got an email stating i need to get my fingerprints done within 3 days of submitting online application.

@camerapicture, thanks. Actually I just got mine - 24 hours after submitting.

@musya I got mine in 24hrs too. But FYI they rejected my visa stating that I intend to stay in Canada. I was on STEM Opt, working on IT making 80k+. So If I were you and the visit is not that important, I won't apply. Better not to get a flag in their immigration for the future.

Me and my friend never had to get our finger print done. Our application got accepted in a week and we just had to sent our passport and got the visa. No clue why you need your finger print taken but any way good luck.

@nepalithito250, thanks for your suggestion. Definitely something to think about.

Bank statement kati dekhauna parcha minimum ? Pls

I am doing this for the first time, so I am not certain. But it looks like it is not about the minimum amount, but more about whether you have enough to cover your trip and whether it will be short term.

Bank balance will be depends on your purpose of visit and length of stay. So there is no magic amount but you also need to demonstrate the strong economic ties by showing tax documents and recent pay slips. However they prefer to see statements from last three months.

When I applied they didn't ask me for my finger print. My visa was approved after 4 days of submitting the application and they asked for my Passport. But I'm guessing they have new rules. Bank Statement ko kura garda if you are visiting for a week probably $4k to be on the safe side. It is good if you have set up direct deposit for your paycheck. Make sure you show 3 months of statement. 

You can have your employer write a letter that you are employed. I showed them the letter, plus my car payment, plus my rent to prove that I have no intent on staying back.

@gamble9803, When did you apply for your Travel Visa to Canada ? Was it recent in 2019 ?

Thank you!
