3 Steps to Follow After Receiving Your ITA for Canada PR
3 Steps to Follow After Receiving Your ITA for Canada PR
3-Step Process After Receiving ITA under Canada Express Entry
Dear recipient,
Congratulations on receiving your Invitation to Apply (ITA) for a Canada PR visa from India!
However, this is just the beginning of your journey...
Now that you have been invited by IRCC, it is imperative to promptly submit a comprehensive application for permanent residency within a specified timeframe, along with a complete set of supporting documents. If candidates diligently follow the “after ITA process,” approximately 80% of electronic Applications for Permanent Residence (eAPR) under Express Entry are processed within six months.
Here's a breakdown of the 3-step process after receiving the ITA:
STEP 1: Gather Required Documents
After meeting the minimum CRS score for Canada PR and receiving your ITA, the first step is to gather the necessary documents that substantiate the qualifications mentioned in your Express Entry profile. The document list will be provided in your Express Entry Profile. If there are any documents requested by IRCC that you cannot provide, furnish a letter of explanation. Alternatively, attempt to submit alternative documents.
Ensure that all documents required for the Express Entry application are either in English or French. If not, arrange for them to be translated by a certified translator.
PROOF OF IDENTITY
- Passport: Submit a copy of the biographical data page or travel document of your passport and each family member accompanying you.
- Birth Certificate: Submit the birth certificate for every individual included in your Canada PR application. If you have adopted children, provide their adoption certificates.
- Marital Status:
- Single: No documents are required.
- Married: Provide a marriage certificate.
- Common-law/Conjugal Relationship: Provide evidence of a genuine relationship.
- Divorced: Provide a divorce certificate for each divorce.
- Widowed: Provide both marriage and death certificates.
In some instances, candidates may be asked to provide one or more of the listed documents. For example, if you have been divorced and remarried, you must provide both the divorce certificate and your new marriage certificate.
LANGUAGE TEST RESULTS
IRCC already possesses access to your language test results, regardless of the test you undertook. However, it’s advisable to submit a copy of your results along with your Canada PR application, even if IRCC hasn’t explicitly requested it. Proactively providing this information can save you time in case IRCC requires it later. Additionally, include the approved language test results of your spouse.
WORK EXPERIENCE
As part of the application process, you must substantiate your work experience. To demonstrate proof, include:
- Reference letters from previous employers
- Electronic copies of your employment contracts
- Samples of payslips (if applicable)
If you are claiming work experience in Canada, submit:
- T4 tax information slips
- Notice of Assessment and Option C printouts from CRA
- A copy of your work permit or employment authorization
EDUCATION
Submit copies of certificates, diplomas, or degrees for post-secondary education, for which you claimed points.
Provide copies of transcripts for both secondary and post-secondary programs.
If your education is obtained from a foreign institution, submit an original Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report.
For Canadian education, furnish proof of successful program completion.
PROOF OF FUNDS
Demonstrate to the Canadian authorities that you possess sufficient funds to relocate to the country and support yourself and accompanying family members. As the minimum settlement funds can change annually, refer to the Government of Canada website for the latest information. You can support your claim by attaching official letters from your bank or other financial institutions where your funds are held.
Here are the updated settlement funds requirements effective May 28, 2024:
| Number of Family Members | Funds Required |
|---|---|
| 1 | $14,690 |
| 2 | $18,288 |
| 3 | $22,483 |
| 4 | $27,297 |
| 5 | $30,690 |
| 6 | $34,917 |
| 7 | $38,875 |
| For each additional family member | $3,958 |
Required Amount as of January 2024
MEDICAL EXAMINATION CONFIRMATION
Submit electronic copies of the confirmed medical examination to demonstrate good health.
POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATES
Provide police clearance certificates (PCC) for yourself and all accompanying family members to verify a clean criminal background. Obtain PCCs from every country you and your family have resided in for at least six months or more since the age of 18, if applicable.
Remember, the certificate is valid for only 12 months from the date of issue. It is advisable to wait for your ITA before obtaining a PCC to avoid expiration during application processing.
If obtaining a PCC takes longer, and you’ve already applied for it, submit proof with your application to extend the timeframe until you receive it.
PHOTOS
Include 2 digital photographs of yourself, your spouse or partner, and each dependent child.
PROCESSING FEES
It is essential to pay the fees with your application, as follows:
- For principal applicant: $1525
- For Spouse: $1525
- For Dependent children: $260 per child
PROVINCIAL NOMINATION
If you have received a provincial nomination, provide a copy of your Canada PR application.
PROOF OF RELATIVE
If you have claimed points for a relative living in Canada, submit the following:
- Proof of your relationship with them.
- Proof of their Canadian citizenship or permanent residence status.
- Evidence of their residence in Canada, such as Canadian tax documents, banking records, or utility bills.
OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT
While not mandatory for Canada PR eligibility, if you have claimed points for a job offer, submit the following:
- Job letter from the Canadian employer.
- Associated LMIA number, if applicable.
Step 2: Submit the Canada PR Application
Once you have gathered all the required documents, proceed to complete your electronic Application for Permanent Resident (eAPR). Submit it through IRCC’s web portal, including all supporting documents, and make the necessary payment of a biometric fee – $85 per person.
Upon the completion of your application, IRCC will send you a letter confirming the requirement for biometrics and specifying the location. Every individual aged 14 to 79 must provide biometrics as part of the PR application process, even if they have been submitted before, and remain valid.
If you haven’t paid the biometrics fee yet, do so promptly upon receiving the letter from IRCC. You have 30 days from the date on the letter to undergo the biometrics process.
Step 3: Application Review
Following the submission of your application, IRCC will commence the review process. Most Express Entry applications are processed within six months, provided the information and documents supplied are accurate and complete.
In case of rejection:
To remain eligible for future invitation rounds:
- Submit a new Express Entry profile
- Meet the Canada PR eligibility criteria
- Re-enter the Express Entry pool
If approved:
Once all your documents are verified, and IRCC approves your application, you will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR).
Wait for IRCC to provide instructions on the subsequent steps before entering Canada.
If Your Information Changes
Should any alterations occur in your personal information during the processing of your Canada PR application, it is crucial to promptly inform the Canadian authorities. This proactive step is essential to avoid potential delays in the processing of your application. Changes may encompass:
- Withdrawal of application
- Changes in family composition, such as the birth or adoption of a child, marriage, or divorce
- Alteration of your immigration representative
- Modifications to your mailing address, email address, telephone number, or other contact information
- Withdrawal of nomination by a province or territory
- Decision not to reside in the nominating province or territory
