Starting December 11th, 2013, all visitors from Sri Lanka will not only need to obtain a temporary resident’s permit or tourist visa to enter Canada, but will also have to provide biometrics with their application at their own expense. The biometric fee is presently set at $85 CAD (10, 960 LKR) per person, and has a maximum of $170 CAD (21, 920 LKR) for a family applying together for a visitor’s visa.
