BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (Monday, February 17, 2025) —The Government of Canada is pleased to announce that Canadian officials will be in the Commonwealth of Dominica from Tuesday, March 11, to Wednesday, March 12, 2025, to carry out biometric processing for persons who have applied to obtain visas.
As part of the visa application process, nationals from the Commonwealth of Dominica must provide biometric information (fingerprints and a photo) when applying for a Canadian visitor visa, study, work, or temporary residence permit, or for permanent residence. During the upcoming March dates, visa applicants may take the opportunity to provide biometric information in the Commonwealth of Dominica rather than travelling abroad. Outside of this visit, standard procedures remain for Commonwealth of Dominica nationals to travel to biometrics collection points in Barbados, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, or Trinidad and Tobago.
If you are planning to travel to Canada for study, business, tourism, family reunions or other reasons, please complete your online visa application as soon as possible in order to take advantage of this opportunity. This exercise is geared towards the following individuals:
To book an appointment for biometrics collection, please write to: BDGTN-VISA@international.gc.ca
Please note the cut-off date for scheduling an appointment is Wednesday, March 5, 2025, and there are a limited number of appointments available for the two-day collection visit. Appointments will be scheduled on a first come, first served basis. We will not be able to accommodate appointment requests after that date unless cancellations are received.
Canadian officials will be pleased to assist applicants who have appointments and the required Biometrics Instruction Letter and passport in hand during the hours listed below. Officials will not be collecting applications or biometric information from applicants who have not received this letter.
The biometrics collection will take place from 08:00 to 16:30 on Tuesday, March 11, and Wednesday, March 12, at the Fort Young Hotel, Victoria Street, Roseau.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
