Where to send it
Most applications are now made online through the IRCC portal, where this form is uploaded with your other documents. Follow your program's instruction guide.
Our tips
- Open the form with Adobe Acrobat Reader: browsers and most viewers can't display it properly.
- Use the form's “Validate” button before saving: it generates the barcodes read by IRCC.
- Prepare your answers in advance (dates, addresses, history): that's where most mistakes happen.
Frequently asked questions
- Why can't I fill this form directly here?
- IRCC forms are dynamic (XFA) forms whose answers are encoded in barcodes. Filling them with another tool can invalidate them. We help you prepare your answers; the form itself is completed in Adobe Acrobat Reader or on the IRCC portal.
The information on this page is general. If in doubt, the official source prevails.
