10 Major documents to keep handy before applying for Canadian immigration

When applying for Canadian immigration, there are several important documents that you should keep handy. These documents will vary depending on the specific immigration program you are applying for, but here are 10 major documents that are commonly required.

Passport

A valid passport is essential for any immigration application. Make sure your passport is up to date and has a sufficient validity period.

Work Experience Letters

If you are applying based on work experience, gather reference letters from your previous employers. These letters should state your job title, duties, duration of employment, and other relevant details.

Language Proficiency Test Results

For most immigration programs, you will need to provide language test results, such as IELTS or CELPIP (English) or TEF (French). Make sure your results meet the minimum requirements.

Marriage Certificate or Divorce Papers

If applicable, provide your marriage certificate or divorce papers to verify your marital status. This is commonly needed in the family sponsorship program.

Police Clearance Certificates

Obtain police clearance certificates from every country or region you have lived in for six months or more since the age of 18. This is to demonstrate good character and absence of criminal record.

Proof of Funds

Depending on the program, you may need to show proof of sufficient funds to support yourself and your family in Canada. This could include bank statements, investment portfolios, or employment contracts.

Medical Examination Reports

Some immigration programs and other factors may require you to undergo a medical examination by an authorized panel physician. Keep the medical examination reports handy.

Educational Documents

Include your academic transcripts, diplomas, degrees, or any other educational qualifications. You may also need to provide an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report for certain programs.

Birth Certificate

You will need a certified copy in most cases. If it's not in English or French, you may need to provide a certified translation.

Additional Documents

Depending on the specific immigration program, you may need to provide additional documents, such as a job offer letter, proof of Canadian education or training.

Remember that these documents serve as a general guideline, and the specific requirements may vary based on the immigration program you are applying for. It's always recommended to consult the official immigration website or seek advice from a qualified immigration consultant or lawyer to ensure you have all the necessary documents for your application.
