Biometric for existing visa holder

[Harry K]

Hello All,

My father got his 10 years Canada visitor visa in 2015 that time Biometric wasn't mandatory.
He has already visited to Canada once in 2016.
He is planning to come again in 2023, would he be allowed? as I read in CIC site Biometric is mandatory.

My understanding is Biometrics is mandatory for new VISA application.

Please advice.

The rules are always changing. Your father will need the biometrics now.

Thanks for the response. I checked the link the instructions are only for new application.
My father has visa valid till 2024, but no biometrics was given as it was not mandatory in 2015 when he applied.
