Yes, most UAE residents between the ages of 14 and 79 must provide biometrics (fingerprints and a digital photo) as part of their Canada visitor visa application. Biometrics are collected at the Visa Application Centres (VFS Global) in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. If you have provided biometrics to Canada in the last 10 years, they may still be valid and can be reused, meaning you do not need to give them again until they expire. Biometrics help Canada verify identity and strengthen border security, so attendance in person is required unless exempt.
