The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, your permanent residence visa. If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, please inform our Centralized Intake Office immediately via the IRCC Web Form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp with details concerning your situation.

STEP 1: Change in Circumstances:

Should any of the following circumstances apply to you or any accompanying family member, you must inform this office immediately:

Change in marital status, for example due to marriage, divorce, legal separation, annulment or death of spouse;
Change in family composition, for example due to adoption or birth of a child, including a child born to your accompanying dependent child,
Death of principal applicant, spouse, accompanying children, or death of sponsoring relative;
Change in health;
You or any of your accompanying family members being charged or convicted of a criminal offence
Change in contact information: mailing address, e-mail address, or telephone number.


Your failure to inform us of any of these changes may result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa and may render you and your accompanying family members inadmissible to Canada.



Your failure to declare all of your family members, accompanying or not, will permanently exclude them from sponsorship under the Family Class regulations.




STEP 2: Passport Requirements – Determine if you need to submit your passport(s)



Determine whether you need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada at: www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp



If your passport is from a country whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you will need to submit original passport(s) for you and each accompanying family member. Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.


Please note that you STILL need to submit your passport(s) even if:

You or your accompanying family members have a valid Canadian temporary residence visa or permit.
You or your accompanying family members are permanent residents of the U.S.A and holder of passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada.


Note: All passports must be intact and not worn, torn or otherwise damaged; the laminate on the bio-data page must be securely attached. Each page must be securely affixed to the passport; there cannot be any loose pages.



If your passport is from a country whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or your passport is from the United States, you will need to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and each accompanying family member (Note: any accompanying family member whose passport does require a visa however, will need to submit their original passport as per Step 2a). Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months. Please do not send your original passport(s).


*** Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent resident visas cannot be issued on Diplomatic, Official or Military passports or travel documents. You must provide an ordinary passport. ***





STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS



You must submit together:



1. One copy of this letter.



2. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.



3. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. Photos MUST meet the precise specifications found in the link below or in Appendix A at the end of this letter. If you submit photos that do not meet the exact specifications, your package will be returned to you. www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf



4. If not yet paid, Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) for you and your accompanying spouse (if applicable). We strongly encourage you to pay your fees online and provide a copy of the receipt. To pay your fees online, click here: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do.



5. The height and eye colour (for both eyes) for the Principal Applicant and all of his accompanying dependants





All required documents must be submitted in one single package.

A) To submit your package while overseas:



Please submit your package to the nearest Visa Application Centre along with the VAC Passport Transmission fee.

https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/



B) If you are currently in Canada, you are not required to submit your passport and will be landed virtually. Please advise our office via webform within 5 days of receipt of this letter if you and/or any of your dependents are in Canada. Please include each person’s name/UCI and where they are currently staying/residing (in Canada or overseas).







NOTE: Permanent Resident document(s) Validity



The issuance of your Permanent Resident document(s) is time sensitive so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) as requested.



Once you receive your Permanent Resident document(s), please verify the information on it is correct. If there are any errors, such as incorrect spelling of name or incorrect date of birth, please inform our Centralized Intake Office via the IRCC Web Form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp immediately. Your name will appear in the same format as it appears in your passport.



Your Permanent Resident document(s) will expire one year after the date of your medical examinations or earlier if your passport or the passports of your spouse or dependent children (if applicable) expire on an earlier date.



You must travel to Canada and present your immigration documents at a Canadian Port of Entry before they expire. The validity of the Permanent Resident documents cannot be extended. If you fail to enter Canada before this date and still wish to immigrate to Canada, you must reapply by submitting a new application and paying new processing fees. All such applications will be assessed according to the immigration laws in force at the time of receipt of the application. There is no guarantee a future application would be successful.

Please consult How COVID-19 is affecting immigration, refugees, citizenship and passport services for the latest information before making any travel plans and again before departing for Canada.

Getting ready for your trip

As you have now received a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) or have been notified to submit your travel documents in preparation for the issuance of a COPR, you are strongly encouraged to use free pre-arrival services funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Several online and in-person services are available to you, your spouse and your dependants. These services can help you find out more about living and working in Canada. They can also help you take steps to get your education, work experience, and professional licences/certificates recognized in Canada, and access other free settlement services once you have arrived in Canada.



To learn more about free pre-arrival services that you can access before you leave, please visit the IRCC website (canada.ca/pre-arrival-services). Please note that in order to access these services, you must show a copy of this letter to the service provider. In-person orientation sessions are very popular and space is limited. We encourage you to register early to secure a spot in an upcoming session.



As you may know, Canada is a bilingual country where both French and English are spoken. If you are interested in living in French, you can get information about Francophone life across Canada by visiting Canada.ca/francoimmigration.



We are looking forward to receiving your package within 30 days to conclude your application for permanent residence in Canada.



Sincerely,



Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)

Hello Ibironnie, did you pay for this exam in Naira? Wouldnt mind tips and material for preparation

Ibironnie:
Same ielts format LRWS But celpip is better sha lol don't quote me ohh. I feel like if you watch a lot of movies and already communicate in english it should be a breeze. Speaking is a bit weird sha cos you're talking to the computer not a person asides that I'll recommend

I got some question about getting Bsc in Nursing in Canada or Pharmacy.

How easy is this in Canada? and which School ?

This is of the believe visit visa seems to be faster than SOWP.

Moreso, when the spouse gets in. they can now put in incanda SOWP.

skull4eva:
Why visits i would rather advice he applys for SOWP

But this might be issue as information seems, one of the requirement is to add spouse student permit, which they dont have yet as the spouse is still around till January.

Moreso, spouse only has 8month/1year pgd.

Bobomaigida:
Do not work with those timelines, there are people here that have gotten SOWP in less than six months, the best course is to apply for SOWP for the husband but they have to show POF and other things

I have a friend who just got her student visa approved. She is planing to resume in January. And she want her husband to join her same time via visitor status.Is this a good idea

The husband is planning to put in his application if he can get response before January.

I just check processing time for visitor is like 155 days, while that of work permit is 58weeks

I was also checking if someone decides to process SOWP from outside of Canada.

I noticed processing time from Nigeria - work permit is 58weeks. If you have a spouse doing 1 year process, the person already graduated.

I have a friend who just got her student visa approved. She is planing to resume in January. And she want her husband to join her same time via visitor status.Is this a good idea

The husband is planning to put in his application if he can get response before January.

We m ight not have windows to learn for a start. I need someone to hit the ground rolling first day. This is for a high profile client.

Fresh50:
Can I apply with my CCNA, I can learn juniper routers configuration in days.

I have a friend that recently got her student visa. And plan to go for January 2023 resumption. Can her husband apply for visiting now or openwork permit ?

WIll he be able to join his wife, when they are set to leave in January.

we are in need of someone wiwth good knowledge in IP, routing mostly with Juniper.

The person must also be good with automation - Ansible and python.

Juniper certification good to have.

The person must be willing to relocate within shortest possible time
