Is this asking for biometrics ? or AOR?
Sorry to bother y'all I just wasn't sure since they don't have any word like "receipt" or "acknowledgment"
And for the context: I came to Canada on Working holiday visa and I submitted biometrics then. (a couple of yrs ago) Do I need to do a new biometrics?
here's the entire email. Thank you in advance everyone.
