I saw Can you go to a Conference in Canada on a Visitor Visa, or only a Business one? and visted: Canada Temporary Resident Visa. For biometrics they gave a link which is broken: 10.24.221.62:8080/english/visit/biometrics.asp. Doing a quick search on http://isup.me/10.24.221.62 and http://isup.me/10.24.221.62:8080 both result in the link being down.

Any other way to know if Indians looking for temporary resident visa need to give biometric fingerprints?
