Does a biritish citizen suppose to give biometric in Canadian airport ?
Im a British cititzen by naturalization. I hold a British passport. have never travelled outside of UK therefore I have no travel history that is why I'm abit nervous travelling for the first time to visit my relatives in Canada for a wedding. I have no idea about their airport polices.Therefore I want to know the airport procedure of Canadian airports.when I arrive to Toronto Canada,will they ask me to give my biometric i.e fingerprints/photo at the Canadian airport as part of their airport rules and regulations? I have heard that now Canada has a rule of taking every travelers biometric once they land at any Canadian airport whether they hold a British passport or German/Swiss/Dutch passport. Can you please share me your airport experience of your first time traveling to Canada ?

You simply need your ETA. Edit: I see from previous threads your other citizenship is Afghanistan, so do be prepared for your ETA to take much longer and don't make any travel plans until you've got it. And you do have a travel history if you were in Afghanistan and are now in the UK!
HTH.

That makes no difference. You said he’s never travelled outside of the UK, but if he’s a naturalised British citizen then he must have lived in another country at some point? And presumably have citizenship of another country too, unless he’s renounced it or had it taken away. So my point still stands - he must declare that in his application and be prepared for it to take longer.
if your cousin had any further questions, please do ask him to sign up with his own account, thx.
