Canada announces biometric requirement for visa holders

Biometric data collection evolves and expands in Canada (CBC)
Citizenship and Immigration Canada told CBC News that digital photos and fingerprints are "the only biometrics data applicants will have to provide" under the government's plan for expanded collection of data. Visitors will have to pay $85 to cover the cost of data collection.
Travelers who don't need a visa to travel to Canada are, apparently, unaffected.
