After payment you receive a Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL). You normally have 30 days to give biometrics at a VAC in Lahore, Islamabad or Karachi.
Step 4: Wait for the Decision

More detail: Canada visa processing time and steps.
Canada Biometrics in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi
Most applicants aged 14 to 79 must give fingerprints and a photo at a VAC. Book your slot as soon as you receive the BIL, because appointments can fill quickly. Biometrics for visitor visas stay valid for 10 years, so you may not need to repeat them for a new application in that period.
Beware of unofficial "appointment sellers". Book only through the official VFS Global Canada pages.
Bank Statement and Financial Requirements for a Canada Visa
IRCC does not publish a fixed minimum balance. Officers look for funds that match your trip length, a stable income source and a believable savings history. Our checklist:
Six months of statements with a clear closing balance
Regular income, not a sudden large deposit before applying
Salary slips, tax returns, property or business records to support your finances
Read the full Canada visa requirements for document examples.
