1. Where can my application for a Canada Immigration Visa be submitted?
That depends upon the Canadian immigration category under which you are applying.
Under the Family Sponsorship category of Canadian immigration,
applications should initially be submitted to the Case Processing Centre
(CPC) in Vegreville, Alberta in the case of an inland Canada
sponsorship, or to CPC Mississauga, Ontario in the case of a sponsorship
to be processed outside of Canada.
Under the Business category of Canadian immigration, applications should
be submitted to the Canadian Immigration Visa Office that serves the
country where you are residing, if you have been lawfully admitted to
that country for a period of at least one year, or the country of your
nationality.
Under the Provincial Nomination Program category of Canadian immigration
or if you intend to reside in the Province of Quebec, you must
initially submit an application to the province in which you intend to
reside.
For the Canadian Experience Class category of Canadian immigration, there are two scenarios:
1. If you are residing in Canada at the time of your application, you
can submit your application to the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney,
Nova Scotia.
2. If you are no longer residing in Canada, applications should be
submitted to the Canadian Immigration Visa Office that serves the
country where you are residing, if you have been lawfully admitted to
that country for a period of at least one year, or the country of your
nationality.
2. What documents should be submitted in support of my application for Permanent Residence in Canada?
That depends upon the category of Canadian Immigration under which you are applying.
Under the Skilled Worker category of Canadian immigration, your initial
submission to the Central Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia
should include application forms, copy of your passport bio-data page
and appropriate Canadian government processing fees in Canadian dollars
payable to the Receiver General for Canada. If you are in Canada on a
Work Permit and claiming points for Arranged Employment, you must also
include a copy of your Work Permit and a letter from your employer
indicating that you will be employed indeterminately upon receiving your
Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa or alternatively you
should include a photocopy of the Arranged Employment Opinion (AEO)
issued by Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) in
relation to a permanent job offer that you have received from a genuine
Canadian employer. In addition, all applications must include supporting
documents in relation to your civil status, education, work experience
and language proficiency (IELTS and/or TEF results) as well as proof of
sufficiant settlement funds. Proof that you have applied for police
clearance certificate(s) should also be included with the initial
application.
Under the Family Sponsorship category of Canadian immigration,
supporting documents usually include evidence of civil status, the
genuine nature of the relationship between the parties and the ability
to commit to an undertaking of support.
Under the Business category of Canadian immigration, supporting
documents usually include evidence of civil status, business
management/ownership experience and documents that indicate a sufficient
amount of assets, legally obtained.
Under the Provincial Nomination Program of Canadian immigration or if
you are intending to reside in the Province of Quebec, you will have to
submit forms and documents as per the province's specific requirements.
Under the Canadian Experience Class category of Canadian immigration,
supporting documents will include proof of your language proficiency
(IELTS and/or TEF results), proof of your having worked in Canada and,
if applicable, proof of your post-secondary studies in Canada.
Under all categories of Canadian Immigration, Citizenship and
Immigration Canada requires Police Clearance Certificates from all
countries that you have resided in for more than six months since your
18th birthday.
Canadian Immigration Visa Offices may, in addition, have specific
requirements regarding supporting documentation. It is advisable to seek
expert guidance or instructions from the Canadian Immigration Visa
Office to which your application will be submitted.
3. When must I submit the supporting documentation?
This depends upon the category of Canadian immigration under which you
are applying and the Canadian Immigration Visa Office to which you are
submitting your application.
Under the Skilled Worker/Professional category of Canadian immigration,
all documents need to be submitted along with your initial application
to the Central Intake Office (CIO) in order to be considered.
Under the Family Sponsorship category of Canadian immigration, all
supporting documents including Police Clearance Certificates and proof
that a medical examination has been undergone by the sponsored person(s)
must be submitted with the initial application.
Under the Entrepeneur and Self-Employed Persons business categories of
Canadian immigration, as a general rule you submit only a basic
application form and Canadian government processing fees to the Canadian
Visa Office responsible for your country of citizenship or for the
country in which you are currently residing if you were lawfully
admitted to that country for at least one year. Approximatley four
months prior to the assessment of your application you will be requested
to submit supporting documents in relation to your civil status and
business management experience.
Under the Investor business category of Canadian immigration, all
supporting documents must be submitted to the appropriate Canadian
Immigration Visa Office at the time that the application is initially
submitted.
Under the Provincial Nomination Program of Canadian immigration or if
you are intending to reside in the Province of Quebec, all supporting
documents in relation to the provincial nomination must be submitted
with the initial application to the province.
Under the Canadian Experience Class category of Canadian immigration,
all supporting documents must be submitted to the appropriate Canadian
Immigration Visa Office at the time that the application is initially
submitted.
4. In what language must my supporting documentation be submitted?
Unless otherwise indicated by a particular Canadian Immigration Visa
Office, all supporting documentation in a language other than English or
French must be accompanied by an English or French translation, as
translated by a certified translator.
5. Can my file be transferred from one Canadian Immigration Visa Office to another?
Under the Skilled Worker category, applications must first be submitted
to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) at CPC-Sydney in Nova Scotia. The
application will then be transferred to the Canadian Immigration Visa
Office outside Canada that is responsible for the country where you are
residing (if you have been lawfully admitted to that country for a
period of at least one year) or the country of your nationality.
Applicants are responsible for indicating the correct visa office on
their forms and marking the incorrect visa office may result in the
return of the application.
Under any category of Canadian immigration, a request to transfer your
application to another Canadian Immigration Visa Office may be made to
the Canadian Immigration Visa Office processing your application. The
latter will decide, based upon "program integrity", whether or not to
transfer your application. In certain circumstances, the Canadian
Immigration Visa Office processing your file may decide on its own to
transfer your file to a different, more appropriate Canadian Immigration
Visa Office, even without a request.
6. How long does the Canadian Immigration application process take?
Many factors affect Immigration application processing times, including the following:
the particular Canadian Immigration Visa Office processing your application;
the category of Canadian Immigration under which you apply;
whether you can find work in Canada;
the way in which your application and supporting documents have been prepared;
whether or not you are required to attend a personal interview; and,
events beyond your control.
It is difficult to find a reliable source to provide you with an
accurate indication of just how long it will take for you to receive
your Canada Immigration Visa. Citizenship and Immigration Canada
publishes all Canadian Immigration Visa Offices' application processing
times for Skilled Workers, Business Applicants, Provincial Nominees and
Family Sponsorships. However, those published times are not always
current and are also vague. Information you may find on newsgroups and
forums is even less trustworthy as there is no accountability for the
messages posted on them. Be suspect of anyone who tells you that there
is a way to get your Canada Immigration Visa quicker for a fee; it is
not true.
The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration has announced that the
government's goal is to complete the processing of all applications
submitted after February 27, 2008 under the Skilled Worker category of
Canadian immigration within 6 to 12 months.
7. What is meant by the "locked-in" date?
A locked-in date is the date on which the Canadian Immigration Visa
Office receives completed application forms and proper payment of the
processing fees. The Federal Court of Canada has determined the
locked-in date to be the date on which certain selection factors must be
assessed.
8. Who can I include on my Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa?
You can include your spouse and your dependent children on your
application. For the purposes of you application, a dependent child is
defined as a child less than 22 years of age who is not married or in a
common-law relationship, or a child over the age of 22 who is currently
enrolled in an education institution and is financially dependent on
you. It is important to keep in mind that Canada recognizes same-sex
partnerships.
9. What if my relationship status changes or I have children while my
application is in process or after my Canada Immigration (Permanent
Resident) Visa has been issued?
You must keep the Canadian Immigration Visa Office informed of any
changes in your family composition while your application is in process.
You must add your spouse or child to your application for a Canada
Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa so that they can accompany you to
Canada. If your family composition changes after your Visa is issued,
you must advise Citizenship and Immigration Canada to add a spouse or
child to your application, provided you have not yet landed in Canada.
