For foreigners entering the US fingerprints are taken in ~100% of the cases at airports. Land borders seem to be an exception.

For the EU it's very rare as far as I know, both for EU citizens or foreigners.

Not for Canadians - unless this recently changed, fingerprints are not taken for a Canadian flying in from Canada, or from Mexico.


Interesting. I'm a student from Europe. All of my international friends have the same experience. But Canadian have a very special relationship with the US (like few/no visas...) so I guess I'm not surprised.
