Our son is in the process of applying for his UK citizenship (British mother & American father) but our daughter-in-law would like to explore the possibility of citizenship for their two sons, both under 10 years old.

Now I'm just hoping that there is somewhere in Manitoba that I can do biometrics so I don't have to travel too far. I know that for the ceremony I have to travel to Calgary, Alberta as there is no consulate in Manitoba sadly.

Hello ... I reside in Vancouver and recently submitted my UKM application, which was received by UKVI on July 20, 2018. Received letter requesting biometrics via email on August 6. Information in that letter required me to enroll my biometrics through VFS Global Services plc. The link to set up an appointment with VFS Global is provided in the letter requesting biometrics. When I set up the appointment, the only locations available in Canada were: Edmonton, Halifax, Ottawa, St. John's NL, Toronto, and Vancouver. Fortunately for me I live in Vancouver and got an appointment the next day (Aug 7), but it looks like you may have to travel to Edmonton. I asked at my appointment how long it takes VFS to submit my biometrics to UKVI and they said, they've already received them -- everything is submitted electronically immediately. I haven't yet heard anything further from UKVI, but once I do I'll post my full timeline experience. Good luck with arranging your biometrics.hlassell wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 4:25 pmUsing the new online application! So quick and easy.

Hello,Lisanduk wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 2:46 pmIn my personal experience it's not a problem. It took a couple of months before I got biometric appt. I think it just depends on who is handling your case. I certainly learned that patience is the key. 9 months later I got my British Citizenship yesterday at a ceremony in Houston! Now for the passport.....![]()
Hi Bear, did you did in a covering letter with your application via the Romein case? I was in touch with the solicitor who dealt with this case and he wanted to charge 1000 pounds to write this letter? Any chance of sharing the letter that you sent?
That would be a great help!
