Biometrics needed for Canada Visitor Visa?

[nalla85]

Hello,

I submitted my documentation to Canadian consulate and I got a response from them asking for my passport. Now, their website mentions about biometrics, is it required for visitor visa?

 

Also, what all should we send in the mail? http://www.cic.gc.ca/submit-envoyer/offices-bureaux-eng.asp#U - this website says Passport, passport request letter and any passport transmission fees.

 

Does passport transmission fees mean, we need to include a return envelope?

 

Thanks

AS per http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics.asp If you are a citizen of India you don't need the Bio metrics
